From MDPI: " It Runs in the Family: Testing for Longitudinal Family Flynn Effects "
https://www.mdpi.com/2177634:It Runs in the Family: Testing for Longitudinal Family Flynn EffectsThe Flynn effect refers to increases over time in measured (particularly fluid) intelligence of approximately 3 IQ points per decade. We define the Flynn effect at the family level, using longitudinal data and two new family-level cohort definitions. Multilevel growth curve analyses of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 data showed that children in families with later-born mothers had higher average PIAT math scores, and lower average reading comprehension scores and growth, in young and middle childhood. Children i...

 Looking for Flynn effects in a recent online U.S. adult sample: Examining shifts within the SAPA Project - ScienceDirect  https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160289623000156?via%3Dihub Compared to European countries, research is limited regarding if the Flynn effect, or its reversal, is a current phenomenon in the United States. Though recent research on the United States suggests that a Flynn effect could still be present, or partially present, among child and adolescent samples, few studies have explored differences of cognitive ability scores among US adults. Thirteen years of cross-sectional ...

Reframing the clouded scientific spectacles of the Flynn effect: A view through two lenses - ScienceDirect
 Reframing the clouded scientific spectacles of the Flynn effect: A view through two lenses - ScienceDirect  https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0160289623000168?via%3Dihub Flynn argued that the Flynn effect was due to an increasing use of " scientific spectacles " among the general population (Flynn, 2010), yet the Flynn effect itself has been viewed through clouded scientific spectacles. Most research has focused on Flynn ' s main finding: IQ scores have increased over time. Flynn (1987) presumed the effect was a cohort (generational) effect, yet a variety of within- and between-person proces...

Detecting Unusual Score Patterns in the Context of Relevant Predictors | SpringerLink
From the brilliance of Dr. Joel Schneider.  Although statistically complicated, these procedures (and other similar beauties by Dr. Schneider) could easily be implemented in test " smart " scoring software.  Detecting Unusual Score Patterns in the Context of Relevant Predictors | SpringerLink  https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40817-022-00137-xNeuropsychological assessment requires integrating new information with what is already known about an examinee. In constructing a case conceptualization, it can be helpful to quantify how unusual a pattern of scores is in the context of other quantitativ...

Cognitive Control in Adolescents and Young Adults with Media Multitasking Experience: a Three-Level Meta-analysis | SpringerLink
 Cognitive Control in Adolescents and Young Adults with Media Multitasking Experience: a Three-Level Meta-analysis | SpringerLink  https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10648-023-09746-0Media multitasking is an ever-increasing phenomenon whereby different forms of media are used simultaneously. Numerous studies have shown that media multitasking is closely related to an individual ' s cognitive control abilities. However, existing evidence remains controversial, making it difficult to draw definitive conclusions. Therefore, to increase the understanding of whether and how frequent media multitasking is assoc...

Opinions on intelligence: An Arab perspective - ScienceDirect
 Opinions on intelligence: An Arab perspective - ScienceDirect  https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0160289623000120?via%3Dihub The issue of cultural differences in how the concept of intelligence is understood has long been debated. But do such differences really exist and, if so, to what extent do they exist and between which cultures are they the most pronounced? To better understand this, we translated a survey from Warne and Burton (2020) on beliefs about intelligence into Arabic, distributed it among psychology and non-psychology students and lecturers at universities within the Arab worl...

Rethinking Executive Functions in Mathematical CognitionMedrano, Josh; Prather, Richard W.Journal of Cognition and Development: Articles In Press, 2023.10.1080/15248372.2023.2172414New perspectives on executive functions propose a greater involve- ment of context. These perspectives have implications for research in mathematical cognition. We tackle the problem that although indivi- duals clearly exercise inhibitory control in mathematical contexts, researchers find that the relations between inhibitory control and mathematics are sometimes"weaker than expected." In this review, we identify how children and adult...

Strategy and Core Cognitive Training Effects on Working Memory Performance: A Systematic Review and Meta-AnalysisBen Izhak, Shachar; Lavidor, MichalJournal of Cognition and Development: Articles In Press, 2023.10.1080/15248372.2023.2172413The field of cognitive training (CT) has been researched for over a century. However, there is still a debate regarding its ability to produce cognitive improvement, especially in working memory (WM) indices. This meta-analysis examined whether there is an advantage in training gains by comparing the results of two specific WM training approaches, Core Training (CRT) and Strategy Training...

A sensorimotor perspective on numerical cognitionSixtus, Elena; Krause, Florian; Lindemann, Oliver; Fischer, Martin H.Trends in Cognitive Sciences: Articles In Press, 2023.10.1016/j.tics.2023.01.002Numbers are present in every part of modern society and the human capacity to use numbers is unparalleled in other species. Understanding the mental and neural representations supporting this capacity is of central interest to cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and education. Embodied numerical cognition theory suggests that beyond the seemingly abstract symbols used to refer to numbers, their underlying meaning is deeply groun...
