APTITUDE AND SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION (2005, background): “It is also now possible to ‘look down’ (see Deary, 2000, p. 4) from cognitive abilities for information processing to the subcomputational, physical level at which neural differences underlying abilities (see e.g., Garlick, 2002) and SLA processes (see, e.g., Chee, Soon, Lee, & Pellier, 2004;…”
Evolutionary versus instrumental goals: How evolutionary psychology misconceives human rationality (2003, background): “They have in fact been evaluated, but by a different set of criteria entirely: whether they enhanced the longevity and fecundity of the replicators.”
A free, easy-to-use, computer-based simple and four-choice reaction time programme: The Deary-Liewald reaction time task (2011, methodology): “The use of reaction time grew and has persisted during the whole of the 20th century and into the 21st century (for example, as described in Aufdembrinke, Hindmarch and Ott 1988; Deary, 2000; Jensen, 2006).”
Genetics and Intelligence Differences: Five Special Findings (2014, unknown): “Singh-Manoux’s(113) suggestion was partly made because epidemiologists preferred to use cognitive epidemiology for those studies in which cognition was the outcome, and so there was an objection to Deary and Batty’s (2007)(104) definition, that is, ‘the use of cognitive ability test scores as risk f”
The neuroscience of human intelligence differences (2010, unknown): “The results have been sparse 12 , but two biological findings have persisted and accumulated: general intelligence differences are substantially heritable 13 ; and general intelligence and brain size show modest, positive correlations 14 . of course, finding correlations does not explain how one…”
On the failure of cognitive ability to predict myside and one-sided thinking biases (2008, background): “…working memory capacity, and the efficiency of the retrieval of information stored in long-term memory (Ackerman, Kyllonen, & Richards, 1999; Carpenter, Just, & Shell, 1990; Deary, 2000, 2001; Hunt, 1987, 1999; Kane & Engle, 2002; Lohman, 2000; Sternberg, 1977, 1985, 2000; Unsworth & Engle, 2005).”
Intergenerational social mobility and mid-life status attainment: influences of childhood intelligence, childhood social factors, and education (2005, background): “Though it is only partly feasible at present, augmenting mental ability tests with validated cognitive and biological measures of mental abilities would allow the validation of IQ-type tests as assessments of brain efficiency rather than social status (Deary, 2000).”
Working memory and intelligence: the same or different constructs? (2005, background): “For example, differential psychologists such as Deary (2000) and Kline (2000) have expressed substantial skepticism that WM and general intelligence are even closely linked.”
Working memory, fluid intelligence, and science learning (2006, background): “More than half a century later, Miller (1956) proposed the term “immediate memory” and described its capacity as 7 ± 2 units or “chunks” of information, which is consistent with Ebbinghaus’ finding on temporary memory capacity. As cognitive psychology developed, research provided more detailed under”

Male satin bowerbird problem-solving ability predicts mating success (2009, unknown): “The general intelligence factor, g, was first described by Spearman (1904) and has since been shown to be one of the most heritable and repeatable of all human behavioural traits (Brody 1992; Mackintosh 1998; Deary 2000).”
Cumulative advantage/disadvantage and the life course: cross-fertilizing age and social science theory. (2003, background): “…as an explanatory principle is well illustrated by recent controversy around the claim that longevity is a function of intelligence, with intelligence assumed to be a fixed and largely innate characteristic with substantial interindividual differences (Deary, 2000; Gottfredson, 2002; Holden, 2003).”
Can we be intelligent about intelligence?: Why education needs the concept of plastic general ability (2007, background): “On the one hand, the operation of general constraints on intellectual performance is strongly supported by the fact that significant and often substantial correlations are obtained between tests of different types of cognitive abilities for example spatial, numerical, verbal (Anderson, 1992; Deary, ”
Intelligence and neural efficiency. (2009, unknown): “…contributions of Hick (1952) and Roth (1964) to the field of individual differences in elementary cognitive processing have led to a renaissance of chronometric approaches to human intelligence (Deary, 2000; Jensen, 2006, provide excellent reviews on individual differences in mental chronometry).”
