EmoSocio: An open access sociometry-enriched Emotional Intelligence model | Semantic Scholar
Significant efforts have been allocated over the last thirty years towards the definition and measurement of the Emotional Intelligence (EI) construct. Several EI theories and models have been produced to support psychological assessment processes. However, barriers are identified for their wide adoption and exploitation by social scientists. The absence of a common structured format to represent concepts in EI models has resulted in lack of clarity and consistency, while hindering comparison, validation and extensive evaluation processes. Provision of open access to such models and measurement instruments has not been pro...

Full article: Considering the boundaries of intellectual disability: Using philosophy of science to make sense of borderline cases
This article builds on the sorites paradox to explore the vagueness that surrounds the concept of intellectual disability and the consequences of this vagueness for the diagnostic process. While epistemicists argue that vagueness is a consequence of our limited knowledge of the world that we live in, semantic theorists claim that there is nothing that we do not know, but that our language allows for indecisiveness. What these different lines of understanding mean for psychologists who are diagnosing intellectual disability, is described in this article. Furthermore, the article discusses practical implications of these phi...

Bifactor Modeling of Global and Broad Emotional Abilities of the Geneva Emotional Competence Test  https://www.mdpi.com/2079-3200/9/1/14AbstractDrawing upon multidimensional theories of intelligence, the current paper evaluates if the Geneva Emotional Competence Test (GECo) fits within a higher-order intelligence space and if emotional intelligence (EI) branches predict distinct criteria related to adjustment and motivation. Using a combination of classical and S-1 bifactor models, we find that (a) a first...

Overlapping and dissociable brain activations for fluid intelligence and executive functions
We present the results of a quantitative meta-analysis of the available fMRI and PET literature on EFs and gf in humans, showing the similarity between gf and (i) the overall global EF network, as well as (ii) specific maps for updating, switching, and inhibition. Results highlight a higher degree of similarity between gf and updating (80% overlap) compared with gf and inhibition (34%), and gf and switching (17%). Moreover, three brain regions activated for both gf and each of the three EFs also were identified, located in the left middle frontal gyrus, left inferior parietal lobule, and anterior cingulate cortex. Finally,...

Systematic review on the precursors of initial mathematical performance | Semantic Scholar
This study carried out a systematic review to identify which cognitive skills of general and specific domain are most frequently indicated as predictors of mathematical achievement of primary school students. For that, 62 studies were included from the EMBASE, American Psychological Association, PubMED/MEDLINE, and Educational Resources Information Center/ERIC databases. Results indicated that working memory and early numerical skills are the cognitive abilities most often reported as predictors of later mathematical achievement, regardless of the school grade and the type of mathematical performance considered. The findin...

 The relation between science achievement and general cognitive abilities in large-scale assessments - ScienceDirect  https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160289621000131?via%3DihubAbstract Although large-scale assessments (LSA) of school achievement claim to measure domain-specific achievement, they have been criticized for primarily measuring domain-general abilities. Numerous studies provide evidence that LSA of mathematical achievement as well as verbal achievement cover both general cognitive abilities (GCA) and domain-specific achievement dimensions. We extend previous research by analyzing a...
