Best practices in gifted identification and assessment: Lessons from the WISC ‐V - Silverman - - Psychology in the Schools - Wiley Online Library
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/pits.22361AbstractSchool psychologists in today ' s schools have the unique opportunity —and responsibility—to guide identification for gifted programs. " Who is gifted? " remains a perennial question in the gifted education literature, not answered by group intelligence screeners that purportedly level the playing field for all. As the student body grows more diverse, there is increasing necessity to ensure that all students have equal access to gifted programs. Failure to identify and develop the advanced abilities of gifted children who are culturally diverse, economic...

A primer on assessing intelligence in laboratory studies - ScienceDirect
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0160289620300180AbstractThis paper is an attempt to provide a brief guide to major conceptual and statistical problems that are unique to the study of individual differences in intelligence and various intellectual abilities, in the context of laboratory experimental studies, and to suggest strategies to successfully navigate these problems. Such studies are generally designed so that the goal is to evaluate the relationships between individual differences in basic task performance or related markers on the one hand, and individual differences in intellectual abilities...

Sleep and intelligence: critical review and future directions - ScienceDirect
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352154620300097General cognitive ability — or intelligence  — is a key psychological phenotype. Individual differences in intelligence may either cause or be a consequence of individual differences in the macrostructure of sleep, such as timing or duration. Furthermore, biological measures of sleep, especially highly trait-like sleep EEG oscillations may p rovide insights about the biological underpinnings of intelligence. Here we review the current state of research on the association between sleep measures and intelligence. We concluded that the macrostru...

Book Nook: General and Specific Mental Abilities - McFarland (Ed)-
Book link Book DescriptionThe history of testing mental abilities has seen the dominance of two contrasting approaches, psychometrics and neuropsychology. These two traditions have different theories and methodologies, but overlap considerably in the tests they use. Historically, psychometrics has emphasized the primacy of a general factor, while neuropsychology has emphasized specific abilities that are dissociable. This issue about the nature of human mental abilities is important for many practical concerns. Questions such as gender, ethnic, and age-related differences in mental abilities are relatively easy to add...

Spatial ability (Gv) and math (Gq; Gf-RQ): A meta-analysis
This study showed that the close association between spatial and mathematical abilities exists in childhood and adolescence. Therefore, spatial training can be beneficial for both children and adolescents. For children, spatial training can be rooted in the real world to develop direct experience by using regular activities such as paper folding, paper cutting (Burte et al. 2017), and Lego construction (Nath and Sz ücs 2014). For adoles-cents, it is better to carry out spatial training through comprehensive courses involving theory and practice in a series of spatial skills (Miller and Halpern 2013; Patkin and Dayan 2013;...
