Abstract

Human cognitive ability involves related processes such as understanding information, memory, thinking, and problem solving. The Raven’s Progressive Matrices test is a widely used nonverbal tool for assessing abstract thinking and logical reasoning. Its performance depends on several cognitive processes working together, providing a psychometric basis for evaluating overall cognitive ability. 
This paper reviews the theoretical and methodological basis of the test's potential for comprehensive cognitive assessment.
