• Score gains on g-loaded tests: No g (2007, background): “Rushton, Skuy, and Bons (2004) showed that the Raven's gave comparable predictive validities for students from various groups.”
• Raven’s test performance of sub-Saharan Africans: average performance, psychometric properties, and the Flynn Effect (2010, methodology): “Rushton and colleagues used a second method in studying the comparability of Raven's scores between African and western samples (Rushton, 2002; Rushton, Bons, Vernon, & Cvorovic, 2007; Rushton & Skuy, 2000; Rushton et al., 2004; Rushton et al., 2002, 2003).”
• Variation in Raven's Progressive Matrices scores across time and place (2009, unknown): “Van de Vijver and Leung (1997) coined the term ‘method bias’ to refer to the overall impact caused by these confounding factors and there is empirical evidence to suggest that they may contribute to actual Raven performance.”
