Explored the relationship of inspection time (IT) and the personality domain of openness (O) to general intelligence ("g") and crystallized intelligence (Gc). Findings for 64 undergraduates support the independence of O from speed of information processing and from general ability. (SLD)

Revisits the classic debate on whether there can be an artificial creation that behaves and uses language with intelligence and agency. Argues that many moral and spiritual objections to this notion are not grounded either ethically or empirically. (Author/VWL)

Explains emotional intelligence, traces its history, and proposes a framework for the design and development of technology-based instruction for emotional intelligence that will be used to elucidate potential uses of computer technology to support the development of emotional intelligence. Reviews the literature related to computers and emotional…

Investigated whether group differences between immigrants and majority group members are best described as Jensen effects or as cultural effects and studied the bias of culture-reduced tests and culture-loaded tests. Findings from 2 studies involving 786 and 267 immigrants and comparable control groups demonstrate the presence of Jensen effects…

Describes how psychodrama, forum theatre, and other forms of drama can facilitate active learning, develop empathy and reflective skills, and foster emotional intelligence in nursing education. Contains 21 references. (SK)

The generality and domain-specificity of the metacognitive skills students bring to new situations were studied with 14 Dutch college freshmen in three simulations. Results support the generality of novice metacognitive skills across domains, and suggest that metacognitive skillfulness is partly independent of intelligence. (SLD)

Conducted a meta-analysis of 46 studies addressing the validity of classifying poor readers by the discrepancy between IQ and reading skills. Children who are poor readers but do not display such a discrepancy are not eligible for special education under the learning disability category. Results provide little evidence in support of the validity…

Studied the relationship of recognition memory, as evidenced by novelty preference in infancy, and characteristics of the home environment, measured by parental socioeconomic status, to children's later intellectual competence. Results for 69 Norwegian children, all born prematurely, show that visual recognition memory makes a significant…

Attempts a rhetorical analysis of the history of artificial intelligence research. Responds to scholarly needs in three areas: the rhetorical nature of science, the social construction of science knowledge, and the rhetorical strategies used in artificial intelligence (AI). Suggests that this work can help rhetoricians more accurately describe the…

Successful intelligence is the ability to attain life goals by adapting to, shaping, and selecting environments and recognizing and dealing with strengths and weaknesses. Research on the measurement of analytical, creative, and practical abilities validates the theory and the usefulness of triarchic instruction in finding a career path. (Contains …

As an alternative to equally weighted difference scores, examined an orthogonal reliable component analysis (RCA) solution and an oblique principal components analysis (PCA) solution for the standardization sample of the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (KABC; A. Kaufman and N. Kaufman, 1983). Discusses the practical implications of the…

Recent technological developments in interfaces, programing philosophy, and artificial intelligence may invite the participation of women programers, who find a concrete, intuitive, and informal style of programing more congenial than the hierarchical, rule-driven style heretofore pervasive in computer culture. (DM)

Recent advances in three research traditions are summarized: trait theories of intelligence, information-processing theories of intelligence, and general theories of thinking. Work on fluid and crystallized abilities by J. Horn and R. Snow, mental speed, spatial visualization, cognitive psychology, artificial intelligence, and the construct of…

The study evaluated speed as a factor in Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised performance with 66 high scoring and 36 average scoring children (ages 3-15 years). Results cast doubt on the utility of speed bonuses in tests of general intelligence with gifted children. (Author/DB)

Evaluated relation of performance on the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale: Fourth Edition to performance on the Wide Range Achievement Test-Revised and Woodcock-Johnson Psychoeducational Battery: Tests of Achievement for 31 normal, elementary-aged students using both the area score and Sattler's factor score approaches.
