Natural myside bias is independent of cognitive ability (2007, background): “Ever since Spearman (1904) first discovered positive manifold, intelligence indicators have correlated with a plethora of cognitive/personality traits and thinking abilities that are almost too large to enumerate (e.g., Ackerman, Kyllonen, & Richards, 1999; Deary, 2001; Deary, Whiteman, Starr, Whall”
Cognitive Ability, Thinking Dispositions, and Instructional Set as Predictors of Critical Thinking. (2007, background): “Ever since Spearman (1904) first discovered positive manifold, intelligence indicators have correlated with a plethora of cognitive/personality traits and thinking abilities (e.g., Ackerman, Kyllonen, & Richards, 1999; Deary, 2001; Deary, Whiteman, Starr, Whalley, & Fox, 2004; Geary, 2005; Lubinski,”
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).”
The p Factor: One General Psychopathology Factor in the Structure of Psychiatric Disorders? (2014, background): “Nonetheless, the general factor in intelligence (called the g factor) summarizes the observation that individuals who do well on one type of cognitive test tend to do well on all other types of cognitive tests (Deary, 2001; Jensen, 1998; Spearman, 1904).”
Intellectual Competence and the Intelligent Personality: A Third Way in Differential Psychology (2006, background): “In the beginning, IC may only be manifested through gf, which remains pretty much the same throughout an individual’s life until its decline in late adulthood (Brody, 1992; Deary, 2001).”
Are smarter groups more cooperative? Evidence from prisoner's dilemma experiments, 1959–2003 (2008, background): “Additionally, the ability to recognize patterns in an ambiguous situation is a strong positive correlate of intelligence (Deary 2001, Jensen 1998, 34-38, Gottfredson 1997 and 2006).”
Beauty Is Not Simplicity: An Analysis of Mathematicians' Proof Appraisals (2015, background): “Factor analyses are widely used in a wide variety of research domains, including the study of intelligence (e.g. Deary, 2001), marketing (e.g. Stewart, 1981) and, perhaps most analogously to the current project, human personalities.”
Self‐Assessed Intelligence and Academic Performance (2006, background): “Due to the impressive validity of traditional IQ tests as predictors of school, university, and occupational success (Binet, 1903; Deary, 2001; Gottfredson, 2002; Schmidt & Hunter, 1998), there is little doubt that IQ scores represent an accurate indicator of a person’s intellectual ability.”
The development and psychometric properties evaluation of the Indonesian version of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale - Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV) (2018, background): “…that separate abilities are relatively highly correlated and that the resulting pattern of intercorrelations could be explained by a single underlying factor term, g, or general cognitive ability, which determines a person’s performance in all intellectual tasks (Deary, 2001; Raven, 2008).”
Using multi-group confirmatory factor analysis to evaluate cross-cultural research: identifying and understanding non-invariance (2015, background): “students on tests (Deary 2001); self-belief that ‘I can do mathematics’ explains answers to the Mathematics Self-Description Questionnaire (Marsh, Smith, and”
The Stability of Intelligence From Childhood to Old Age (2014, methodology): “In differential psychology, the classification of cognitive tests tends to be based on their correlations (Carroll, 1993; Deary, 2000).”
