Factor Structure of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children–Fourth Edition Among Referred Students (2006, methodology): “Carroll (2003) proposed that cognitive abilities exist at three levels or strata.”
Adaptive n-back training does not improve fluid intelligence at the construct level: Gains on individual tests suggest that training may enhance visuospatial processing (2013, unknown): “, (Carroll, 1993, 2003;McGrew, 2009).”
Gray Matter and Intelligence Factors: Is There a Neuro-g?. (2009, background): “As discussed by Carroll (1993, 2003) fluid reasoning (e.g. drawing inferences, concept formation, classification, generating and testing hypotheses, identifying relations, comprehending implications, problem solving, extrapolating, and transforming information) is the second stratum ability more…”
The relation between fluid intelligence and the general factor as a function of cultural background: a test of Cattell's investment theory (2008, methodology): “However, in another study of the relationship between Gf and g, Carroll (2003) used confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), without quite being able to show the identity.”
Construct Validity of the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence and Wide Range Intelligence Test: Convergent and Structural Validity (2009, methodology): “…general intelligence construct, Wechsler’s (1958) theory and measurement of intelligence, and hierarchical conceptualizations of intelligence articulated in theories of Carroll (1993, 2003), Cattell (1963), and Horn and Cattell (1966), now commonly referred to as Cattell–Horn–Carroll (CHC) theory.”

Cattell-Horn-Carroll Abilities and Cognitive Tests: What We've Learned from 20 Years of Research. (2010, methodology): “Carroll conducted exploratory factor analyses (EFAs) and CFAs using WJ-R data to test competing hypotheses about the nature of a hierarchical general factor of intelligence (g), and found support for the (three-stratum) contention that g is hierarchical and separable fromGf (Carroll, 2003).”
Exploratory bifactor analysis of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children—Fifth Edition with the 16 primary and secondary subtests (2015, unknown): “Fifth Edition (WISC-V; Wechsler, 2014a) stated that they not only used current cognitive, intellectual, and neuropsychological theories (Carroll, 1993, 2003; Cattell & Horn, 1978; Horn, 1991; Horn & Blankson, 2012; Horn & Cattell, 1966; McCloskey, Whitaker, Murphy, & Rogers, 2012; Miller & Maricle,…”
Extending psychometric network analysis: Empirical evidence against g in favor of mutualism? (2019, background): “arranged hierarchically, with a general factor at the apex and less broad factors arrayed below (Carroll, 2003; Jensen, 1998; Johnson, Bouchard Jr, Krueger, McGue, & Gottesman, 2004; Neisser et al., 1996; Schneider & McGrew, 2018).”
Cattell-Horn-Carroll cognitive abilities and their effects on reading decoding skills: g has indirect effects, more specific abilities have direct effects. (2007, methodology): “CHC theory is a synthesis of the extended Gf-Gc theory (Horn & Blankson, 2005; Horn & Masunuga, 2000) and the threestratum theory of cognitive abilities (Carroll, 1993, 1997, 2003).”
