Dual-processing accounts of reasoning, judgment, and social cognition. (2008, background): “It is now well established that individual differences in working memory capacity and general intelligence measures are very highly correlated (Colom et al. 2004).”
Educating the Developing Mind: Towards an Overarching Paradigm (2011, result): “Several authors, following this line of research, showed that working memory and executive control largely determine the condition of Gf and psychometric g (Blair 2006; Colom et al. 2004; Conway et al. 2002; Kyllonen and Christal 1990; Miller and Vernon 1992).”
The Neuroscience of Intelligence (2016, background): “In some psychometric studies they are empirically virtually identical (Colom et al., 2004; Kane & Engle, 2002; Kyllonen & Christal, 1990).”
Higher-order models versus direct hierarchical models: g as superordinate or breadth factor? (2008, methodology): “Method Correlation matrices All analyses were based on the three correlation matrices reported in Colom et al. (2004), the single correlation matrix reported in Gustafsson (1984), and the single correlation matrix reported in Holzinger and Swineford (1939). As reported in Colom et al., 12 cognitive ”
The relationship between visuospatial sketchpad capacity and children's mathematical skills (2008, background): “However, it should be noted that whilst some research has indicated a major relationship between working memory and fluid intelligence (Colom, Rebello, Palacios, Juan-Espinosa, & Kyllonen, 2004 ), others have suggested that they are not isomorphic (Conway, Kane, & Engle, 2003 ).”
