The p Factor: One General Psychopathology Factor in the Structure of Psychiatric Disorders? (2014, background): “Nonetheless, the general factor in intelligence (called the g factor) summarizes the observation that individuals who do well on one type of cognitive test tend to do well on all other types of cognitive tests (Deary, 2001; Jensen, 1998; Spearman, 1904).”

Meta-learning of Sequential Strategies (2019, background): “Generality is at the heart of IQ tests [Spearman, 1904, Raven, 1936, Urbina, 2011] and the measure of intelligence suggested by Legg and Hutter [2007].”
Inequality in the Early Cognitive Development of British Children in the 1970 Cohort (2003, unknown): “There is no assumption here that this index identifies any uni-dimensional notion of intelligence such as Spearman’s g, which is central to psychometric studies and has aroused considerable controversy. Charles Spearman, a British psychologist, noted (Spearman, 1904) that people who scored well on i”
