Raven's Matrices and Working Memory: A Dual-Task Approach (2013, methodology): “…dual-task methods with earlier attempts to categorize individual problems on the basis of the number and type of rules that underpin solution (Carpenter et al., 1990; Mackintosh & Bennett, 2006), although this would of course first require adequately large and generally agreed samples of items.”
A twin-family study of general IQ (2008, background): “There are also indications that the Standard Raven is biased across gender (Abad, Colom, Rebollo, & Escorial, 2004; Mackintosh & Bennett, 2005) and that there are sex by age interactions (Lynn et al., 2004).”
Sex differences in mental rotation and spatial visualization ability: Can they be accounted for by differences in working memory capacity? (2007, background): “On the 3D versions of mental rotation tasks, the difference is still close to one standard deviation (e.g., Mackintosh & Bennett, 2005).”
Brother–sister differences in the g factor in intelligence: analysis of full, opposite-sex siblings from the NLSY1979 (2007, background): “Arguably, the strongest evidence for a sex difference in g consists of the meta-analysis of the Raven's Matrices (Lynn & Irwing, 2004, 2005) but, although the Progressive Matrices is typically highly g-loaded, its item content is heterogeneous (Lynn, Allick, & Irwing, 2004; Mackintosh & Bennett, 20”
