Working memory, fluid intelligence, and science learning (2006, background): “…2002; Jensen, 1998; Kyllonen, 2002; Stauffer, Ree, & Carretta, 1996), some have stated that these two constructs are barely linked to each other (Deary, 2000; Kline, 2000), while most have claimed that WM and fluid intelligence are closely related but not identical (Ackerman et al., 2005; Beier…”
Reaction Time, Age, and Cognitive Ability: Longitudinal Findings from Age 16 to 63 Years in Representative Population Samples (2005, methodology): “The agerelated changes in reactio n times account for a substantial proportion of the age-related variance in higher cognitive functions (e.g., Deary, 2000, chapter 8; Madden, 2001; Salthouse, 1996, 2000; Sliwinski & Buschke, 1999).”
Genetic foundations of human intelligence (2009, neutral): “Intelligence test scores correlate moderately with tests of speed of more fundamental information processing (Deary 2000)—such as reaction times—and they correlate modestly with overall brain size (McDaniel 2005).”
Neural mechanisms of general fluid intelligence (2003, background): “Direct investigation of this possibility will be a critical step toward a mechanistic model of human intelligenc”
Ability EI as an intelligence? Associations of the MSCEIT with performance on emotion processing and social tasks and with cognitive ability (2007, result): “…found to be positively correlated with fluid ability and uncorrelated with crystallised ability, consistent with findings for IT tasks generally (Deary, 2000), while performance on the emotion-related tasks (but not on Symbol IT) was found to be positively correlated with performance on a…”
Dissecting practical intelligence theory: Its claims and evidence (2003, background): “Many researchers , therefore , now consider g the core dimension of intellectual competence or their working definition of intelligence ( see overviews by Carroll , 1993 ; Deary , 2000 ) .”
Cumulative advantage/disadvantage and the life course: cross-fertilizing age and social science theory. (2003, background): “…as an explanatory principle is well illustrated by recent controversy around the claim that longevity is a function of intelligence, with intelligence assumed to be a fixed and largely innate characteristic with substantial interindividual differences (Deary, 2000; Gottfredson, 2002; Holden, 2003).”
Can we be intelligent about intelligence?: Why education needs the concept of plastic general ability (2007, background): “…one hand, the operation of general constraints on intellectual performance is strongly supported by the fact that significant and often substantial correlations are obtained between tests of different types of cognitive abilities for example spatial, numerical, verbal (Anderson, 1992; Deary, 2000).”
Defining features versus incidental correlates of Type 1 and Type 2 processing (2012, background): “For example, it has been proposed that the reaction time tasks that have been found to correlate with fluid intelligence (see Deary 2000) do so not because they tap into some factor of ‘‘neural speed’’ but instead because they make attentional demands that are similar to those of some working…”
On the failure of cognitive ability to predict myside and one-sided thinking biases (2008, background): “…working memory capacity, and the efficiency of the retrieval of information stored in long-term memory (Ackerman, Kyllonen, & Richards, 1999; Carpenter, Just, & Shell, 1990; Deary, 2000, 2001; Hunt, 1987, 1999; Kane & Engle, 2002; Lohman, 2000; Sternberg, 1977, 1985, 2000; Unsworth & Engle, 2005).”
Evolutionary versus instrumental goals: How evolutionary psychology misconceives human rationality (2003, background): “Well, for starters, some of that "genetic variability that geneticists have found" is in general intelligence (g)--which virtually everyone who has looked at the evidence agrees is at least 40-50% heritable (Deary, 2000; Grigorenko, 1999; Neisser et al., 1996; Plomin & Petrill, 1997).”
The Higher-stratum Structure of Cognitive Abilities: Current Evidence Supports g and About Ten Broad Factors (2003, background): “…who are concerned with this structure in one way or another, like Burns and Nettelbeck (in press), Case, Demetriou, Platsidou, and Kazi (2001), Deary (2000), Garlick (in press), Jensen (1998), and Plomin (1999) can be assured that a general factor g exists, along with a series of second-order…”
