Kranzler, John H.; And Others – Intelligence, 1993
J.H. Kranzler and A.R. Jensen report on a reanalysis of previous data that is again inconsistent with the hypothesis that psychometric "g" is unitary. J.B. Carroll reiterates objections to the evidence that Kranzler and Jensen offer in support of a composite "g." (SLD)

Bejar, Isaac I. – Intelligence, 1981
Recent literature suggests a causal link between malnutrition and impaired cognitive development. A selective literature review indicates that the presence or absence of such a link cannot be established. A reanalysis of an experiment indicated after four years of treatment there was no association between cognitive and nutritional status.…

Elkind, David – Intelligence, 1981
The question of how to integrate developmental (Piagetian) and psychometric conceptions and assessments of intelligence is considered. A solution which incorporates the contributions of each position--intelligence as forms and as traits--is offered. Premises and objectives of each tradition are reviewed and compared. Overlaps make synthesis…

Spitz, Herman H. – Intelligence, 1981
Persons representing the extremes of intelligence cannot be included in the same study unless they are approximately equated on mental age, in which case the relative performances of the extreme groups can provide useful information about the nature of intelligence. (Author/RD)

McCall, Robert B. – Intelligence, 1981
Studies reporting predictions from assessments of infant recognition memory to later developmental performance and IQ are critiqued. Inelegancies in design, procedure, and analyses are noted. While this approach may have potential, its utility for practical or clinical purposes is still not demonstrated. (Author/RD)

Ramey, Craig T.; Haskins, Ron – Intelligence, 1981
In this response to the critiques by Jensen and McVicker Hunt, we focus on the meaning of g, the permanence of effects produced by early education, and the educational significance of IQ gains produced by early education programs. New longitudinal data from our study presented. (Author/RD)

Keil, Frank C. – Intelligence, 1982
An approach to intelligence which emphasizes domain-specific constraints on knowledge structures is compared to information processing approaches. The evaluation of any cognitive ability as being intelligent crucially depends on prior specification of the formal constraints on the domains of knowledge from which that ability originates.

Hunt, J. McVicker – Intelligence, 1981
Ramey and Haskins report two findings of major importance: absence of decline in test scores and absence of mother-child correlation for treated children. Implications of these findings are discussed. (Author)
