The structure of human intelligence: It is verbal, perceptual, and image rotation (VPR), not fluid and crystallized

The relationship among geometry, working memory, and intelligence in children

“…Future studies should also include other cognitive measures that might be related to geometrical achievement, and mental rotation tasks in particular, given that geometry is also related to the capacity to mentally rotate stimuli (Zhang et al, 2012), and it has been argued that the capacity to manipulate and rotate objects is a component of intelligence (Johnson & Bouchard, 2005). Further research should also analyze how WM and intelligence may change during an individual's development and the geometry curriculum places different demands on different school grades.…”

Relations among fluid intelligence, sensory discrimination and working memory in middle to late childhood – A latent variable approach

“…For the present study, the Culture Fair Test (Weiss, 2006), a test of fluid intelligence was chosen as a measure of intelligence. Reasons for this choice included (1) the wide use of such tests in studies of intelligence (see e.g., Conway et al, 2011), (2) the relatively culture-free stimuli that are used in such tests (Willis et al, 2011), and (3) the fact that some researchers have suggested that fluid intelligence and g are effectively equivalent (for a discussion of the issue see Hunt, 2011;Johnson & Bouchard Jr, 2005).…”

Komplexität modellieren

“…Cattell (1963), Horn (1976) und andere Autoren sind mit SSM-orientierten Faktorenanalysen auf schulisch-kulturelle Einflüsse schon oft gestoßen, wenn durch Faktoranalysen zweiter Ordnung eine höhere Ebene der konzeptuellen ‚Hierarchie' erreicht wurde. Selbst diejenigen Forscher, die mit herkömmlichen Analyseverfahren eine kristalline Intelligenz in ihren Daten nicht fanden (Johnson & Bouchard, 2005) (Jensen, 1998, p. 66 …”
