Educating the Developing Mind: Towards an Overarching Paradigm (2011, background): “…is a background factor that is related to psychometric g and that the strength of relation increases with the complexity of the tasks used to measure it (Demetriou et al. 2002, 2008, 2010a, b; Salthouse 2000; Sheppard and Vernon 2008) or with the effort required to learn a new task (Hunt 2011).”
When are fluid intelligence and working memory isomorphic and when are they not (2013, neutral): “One of the proposals suggested that both variables can be explained by the differences in mental speed, for example assessed with simple perceptual-motor tasks involving stimuli comparison (for reviews see Jensen, 2006; Sheppard & Vernon, 2008).”
Executive function in the first three years of life: precursors, predictors and patterns (2016, background): “Processing speed appears to be largely influenced by genetic differences (Sheppard & Vernon, 2008) although there are some indications that a high-quality diet in infancy (such as from breast milk or DHAenriched formula milk) may be linked to faster information processing (O’Connor et al., 2001;…”
The relationship between cognitive ability and chess skill: a comprehensive meta-analysis (2016, positive): “Gs re ﬂ ects speed of information processing, and is measured with reaction time tasks or tests that require speeded judgments (e.g., comparing letter strings; Salthouse, 1996; Sheppard & Vernon, 2008).”
