Specific Learning Disability Identification in an RtI Method: Do Measures of Cognitive Ability Matter? - Hajovsky - Learning Disabilities Research & Practice - Wiley Online Library
This study examined the extent to which cognitive ability index scores predicted multidisciplinary teams ' (MDT) SLD identification within a response-to-intervention (RtI) method after accounting for RtI slope and norm-referenced achievement scores. Results showed that four achievement composite scores (i.e., basic reading, reading comprehension, math computation, and math problem solving) and two cognitive ability index scores (i.e., crystallized ability, working memory) predicted MDT-determined SLD, explaining 81% of the variance. The inclusion of academic achievement and cognitive ability index scores predicted MDT-dete...

g's little helpers – VOTAT and NOTAT mediate the relation between intelligence and complex problem solving - ScienceDirect
 g ' s little helpers – VOTAT and NOTAT mediate the relation between intelligence and complex problem solving - ScienceDirect https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0160289622000666AbstractIntelligence and complex problem solving (CPS) correlate closely, but little is known about the mechanism that translates intelligence into successful CPS. Therefore, this study considered the strategic exploration behaviors VOTAT (vary-one-thing-at-a-time) and NOTAT (vary no-thing-at-a-time) as possible mediators. A sample of 495 high-school students worked on nine CPS tasks, six of which with solely direct e...

 Capital Defendants with Intellectual Disability | Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law  http://jaapl.org/content/50/3/484?etocIn Jackson v. Payne, 9 F.4th 646 (8th Cir. 2021), the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit affirmed the federal district court ruling that defendant Alvin Bernal Jackson was intellectually disabled and thus was ineligible for the death penalty. The Eighth Circuit found that the district court ' s ruling, which did not credit Mr. Jackson ' s adaptive functioning strengths, was consistent with Arkansas ' statutory requirements and U.S. Supreme Court precede...

How robust is the relationship between neural processing speed and cognitive abilities? - Schubert - Psychophysiology - Wiley Online Library
 How robust is the relationship between neural processing speed and cognitive abilities? - Schubert - Psychophysiology - Wiley Online Library  https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/psyp.14165Individual differences in processing speed are consistently related to individual differences in cognitive abilities, but the mechanisms through which a higher processing speed facilitates reasoning remain largely unknown. To identify these mechanisms, researchers have been using latencies of the event-related potential (ERP) to study how the speed of cognitive processes associated with specific ERP components is relate...

 A meta-analysis on air traffic controllers selection: cognitive and non-cognitive predictors - ScienceDirect  https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S000187912200080X?via%3DihubAbstractThis psychometric meta-analysis investigated the relation of cognitive and non-cognitive factors to the training success of Air Traffic Controllers by synthesizing 51 studies (N = 65,839). Cognitive factors were classified by Cattel-Horn-Carrol theory. Cognitive composite scores and work samples were also included. Non-cognitive factors consisted of Big Five personality traits, biodata, motivation and non-cognit...

Intelligence Correlates with the Temporal Variability of Brain Networks - ScienceDirect
 Intelligence Correlates with the Temporal Variability of Brain Networks - ScienceDirect  https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0306452222004043?via%3DihubAbstractIntelligence is the ability to recognize and understand objective things, and use knowledge and experience to solve problems. Highly intelligent people show the ability to switch between different thought patterns and shift their mental focus. This suggests a link between intelligence and the dynamic interaction of brain networks. Thus, we investigated the relationships between resting-state dynamic brain network remodeling (temporal va...

 J. Intell. | Free Full-Text | Intelligence IS Cognitive Flexibility: Why Multilevel Models of Within-Individual Processes Are Needed to Realise This  https://www.mdpi.com/2079-3200/10/3/49AbstractDespite substantial evidence for the link between an individual ' s intelligence and successful life outcomes, questions about what defines intelligence have remained the focus of heated dispute. The most common approach to understanding intelligence has been to investigate what performance on tests of intellect is and is not associated with. This psychometric approach, based on correlations and factor analysis is defic...

 Process-oriented intelligence research: A review from the cognitive perspective - ScienceDirect  https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160289622000629?via%3DihubAbstractDespite over a century of research on intelligence, the cognitive processes underlying intelligent behavior are still unclear. In this review, we summarize empirical results investigating the contribution of cognitive processes associated with working memory capacity, processing speed, and executive processes to intelligence differences. Specifically, we (a) evaluate how cognitive processes associated with the three different c...

 Can a Neandertal meditate? An evolutionary view of attention as a core component of general intelligence - ScienceDirect  https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0160289622000496 Interesting speculations, particularly (IMHO) the role of attention in intelligence, which is related to contemporary research that has suggested that attentional control (Gwm-AC) may be one of the most central causal mechanisms of intelligence.Attention might be considered a key component of intelligence, and its cognitive and neurobiological mechanisms probably underwent profound changes in the course of human...

 Numerosity sense correlates with fluent mathematical abilities - ScienceDirect  https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0001691822001706?via%3DihubAbstractAlthough a great deal of research has shown a relationship between numerosity sense and mathematical ability, some studies have failed to do so. The main source of this inconsistency could be the varied ways of measuring mathematical abilities. The current investigation explored several types of mathematical ability, from basic number processing and arithmetic computation to numerical reasoning and arithmetic learning. We hypothesized that the ...
