Global connectivity of prefrontal cortex predicts cognitive control and intelligence (2012, background): “Robust findings demonstrate its relevance to a wide variety of both psychometric and real-life tasks (Gottfredson, 2002), providing good reason to expect that results based on gF will generalize to a wide variety of other tasks, especially those in which cognitive control demands are high…”
Predicting school achievement in boys and girls (2008, methodology): “Also consistent with previous research, intelligence was the strongest predictor of school achievement for both sexes (e.g. Gottfredson, 2002; cf. Gustafsson &Undheim, 1996).”
Conceptions of Giftedness (2005, background): “The nature of general intelligence is still a highly researched area (Detterman, 2002; Gottfredson, 2002; Jensen, 1998; Kyllonen, 2002; Petrill, 2002).”
Academic performance, career potential, creativity, and job performance: can one construct predict them all? (2004, methodology): “Our prediction was based on the enormous literature that unequivocally demonstrates the existence of a general factor of cognitive ability and its broad importance as a predictor of numerous life outcomes (for reviews, see, Brand, 1987; Gottfredson, 2002).”
Intelligence: new findings and theoretical developments. (2012, methodology): “There have been several attempted replications of the SES by heritability interaction since the Turkheimer et al. (2003) study was published, with mixed results.”
Educating the Developing Mind: Towards an Overarching Paradigm (2011, background): “This may reflect the fact that the importance of general cognitive efficiency as such for learning becomes stronger with age until early adulthood (Grigorenko 2002).”
A model of educational leadership: Wisdom, intelligence, and creativity, synthesized (2005, background): “Intelligence, as conceived of here, is not just intelligence in its conventional narrow sense—some kind of general factor (g) (Jensen 1998, Spearman 1927, see essays in Sternberg and Grigorenko 2002) or IQ (Binet and Simon 1905, Kaufman 2000, Wechsler 1939).”
Lack of Theory Building and Testing Impedes Progress in The Factor and Network Literature (2020, background): “A third example is that intelligence or mental energy are often conceptualized as an intraindividual process, whereas the statistical evidence for the positive manifold and the g factor is largely based on interindividual statistical models (Borsboom, Kievit, Cervone, & Hood, 2009; Jensen, 2002).”
WICS as a model of giftedness (2003, background): “Item 2 recognizes that although psychologists sometimes talk of a ‘general’ factor of intelligence (Spearman, 1927; Jensen, 1998; Sternberg & Grigorenko, 2002b), really, virtually no one is good at everything or bad at everything.”
On the Irrelevance of Intelligence in Predicting Responsiveness to Reading Instruction (2006, background): “Beck (1986); Ceci (1991); Clarren, Martin, and Townes (1993); Flynn (1980); Gottfredson (2002); Hunter and Hunter (1984); Jensen (1998); Lubinski (2004); McCall (1977); Schmidt and Hunter (1993, 2004); Schmidt, Hunter, McKenzie, & Muldrow (1979); Sternberg, Grigorenko, and Bundy (2001); and many…”
The Challenge and Promise of Cognitive Career Assessment (2003, unknown): “…Brody, 1992; Jensen, 1980, 1998; Plomin, DeFries, McClearn, & McGuffin, 2001), articles relating abilities specifically to employment (e.g., L. S. Gottfredson, 2002a; Lubinski & Dawis, 1992; Schmidt & Hunter, 1998), and publications for more general audiences (e.g., L. S. Gottfredson, 1996b,…”
