Demaree, Heath A.; Burns, Kevin J.; DeDonno, Michael A. – Intelligence, 2010
The Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) is a famous and frequently-used neuropsychological task that is thought to reflect real-world decision-making. There has been some debate, however, about the degree to which the IGT involves cold (cognitive) versus hot (emotional) processing. The present study incorporated 68 healthy individuals and used measures of…

Fagan, Joseph F.; Holland, Cynthia R.; Wheeler, Karyn – Intelligence, 2007
Young adults, originally tested as infants for their ability to process information as measured by selective attention to novelty (an operational definition of visual recognition memory), were revisited. A current estimate of IQ was obtained as well as a measure of academic achievement. Information processing ability at 6-12 months was predictive…

Relevance of Genotype and Its Environmental Counterpart to the Theory, Interpretation, and Nomenclature of Ability Measures
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Humphreys, Lloyd G. – Intelligence, 1978
While the constructs of aptitude and achievement, which are defined as genotypic and environmental constructs, are potentially useful in psychological theory and in the development of predictors, the use of these terms for psychological tests is highly misleading. Implications of this position for group differences in aptitude and construct…

What Process Mediates Predictions of Childhood IQ from Infant Habituation and Recognition Memory? Speculations on the Roles of Inhibition and Rate of Information Processing.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
McCall, Robert B. – Intelligence, 1994
This editorial proposes that the dependent variables that predict childhood intelligence quotient (IQ) from habituation and recognition memory assessments made during infancy may primarily reflect individual differences in rate of information processing. Inhibition may be a stable thread in mental development. (Author/SLD)

Predictors of Instability in Children's Mental Test Performance at 24, 48, and 96 Months.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Pianta, Robert C.; Egeland, Byron – Intelligence, 1994
Deviations in children's mental test performance were studied for children of 169 disadvantaged mothers at 24, 48, and 96 months to determine whether aspects of the child rearing environment predicted the deviations from expected values. Relationships between aspects of the environment, child intelligence, and child characteristics are discussed.…

Spinath, Birgit; Spinath, Frank M.; Harlaar, Nicole; Plomin, Robert – Intelligence, 2006
The present study examined the extent to which motivation contributes to the prediction of school achievement among elementary school children beyond general mental ability ("g"). The sample consisted of "N" = 1678 nine-year-old UK elementary school children who took part in the Twins Early Development Study (TEDS). Teachers…
