The interplay of g and mathematical abilities in large-scale assessments across grades (2017, background): “The first assumption is based on the existence of a general cognitive ability (g), ascribable to Spearman (1904), who proposed that an underlying mental ability is necessary for successful performance across domains.”
Applications of structural equation modeling (SEM) in ecological studies: an updated review (2016, background): “factor analysis, which originated in psychometrics, has an objective to estimate the latent psychological traits, such as attitude and satisfaction (Galton 1888; Pearson and Lee 1903; Spearman 1904).”
Estimating the dimensionality of intelligence like data using Exploratory Graph Analysis (2017, methodology): “Factor analysis was developed to uncover the dimensions underlying a large number of measures of the behaviors or abilities of interest (Spearman, 1904; Carroll, 1993; Jensen, 1998).”
Education and Cognitive Functioning Across the Life Span (2020, methodology): “, 2006) is an example of an account of the positive correlations among different cognitive abilities (Spearman, 1904) that does not invoke a g factor.”
Revisiting the association between music lessons and intelligence: Training effects or music aptitude? ☆ (2017, background): “This factor represents general intelligence or g (Spearman, 1904), with which the APM has a particularly strong association (e.g., Marshalek et al., 1983).”
Spearman's law of diminishing returns. A meta-analysis (2017, background): “As for Spearman's (1927) expected trend, he did not evidently propose that a declination of g loadings as a function of age is present, but only as a function of ability; therefore, our results seem to broadly confirm this trend, indicated by a g-saturation decrease as a function of IQ as well as a ”
