Abstract
We argue that slower reaction time to a rearranged set of digit-symbols pairings (relative to the standard pairing) indicates greater incidental learning. In a group of 46 HIV-infected adults, we found that this relative slowing was positively associated with better performance on cognitive testing, including global cognitive functioning.
