Secular declines in cognitive test scores: A reversal of the Flynn Effect (2008, background): “Wicherts et al. (2004) have emphasised the importance of examining Flynn Effect evidence at the level of subtests.”
A dynamical model of general intelligence: the positive manifold of intelligence by mutualism. (2006, background): “Explanations of this effect include nutrition, family size, education, environmental complexity, and test-taking strategies (Wicherts et al., 2004).”
Is the Flynn effect on g?: A meta-analysis (2013, background): “Wicherts et al. (2004) report data on the DAT for three different school types, so the adjacent school types can be compared; this results in r = .70 (total N = 2869) and r = .40 (total N = 2660), respectively.”
A Test for Cluster Bias: Detecting Violations of Measurement Invariance Across Clusters in Multilevel Data (2013, background): “…to investigate measurement invariance is multigroup factor analysis (MGFA), which involves testing the equality of measurement parameters (specifically, factor loadings, intercepts, and residual variances) over groups (e.g., Smits, Dolan, Vorst, Wicherts, & Timmerman, 2011; Wicherts et al., 2004).”

What is intelligence? Beyond the Flynn effect (2008, background): “His Factor analysis paradox is clearly related to our study (Wicherts et al., 2004) in which we found that the gains in five datasets were not factorially invariant with respect to cohorts.”
