The Tower of London (ToL) test is widely used for measuring planning and aspects of problem solving. The primary focus of this study was to assess the relationship among different performance measures on the ToL. A secondary purpose was to examine the putative relationship between intelligence and working memory with that of ToL performance. Analyses of the interrelation of several ToL parameters indicated that better ToL performance was associated with longer preplanning time and shorter movement execution time. Good performers showed a stronger increase in preplanning duration with task difficulty than intermediate or poor planners. Stepwise multiple regression analysis yielded fluid intelligence as the only significant predictor of ToL performance. These results suggest that the Tower of London assesses predominantly planning and problem solving and could not be sufficiently explained by other cognitive domains.
