Big data in psychology: Special issue of Psychological Methods
I just learned of this special issue inPsychological Methods. I am looking forward to reading many of the articles as the idea of " big data " analysis in psychology is important. I am particularly looking forward to reading the article co-authored byJack McArdle on SEM trees. I am not sure I will understand it, but I know Jack does tremendous work. He was the first person to introduce me to SEM methods many years ago (during the WJ-R project; he taught me SEM, very gently, with a program called COSAN..and then I graduated to LISREL), and he was an awesome teacher---he could make complex stat method...

Human intelligence research four-levels of explanation: Connecting the dots - an Oldie-But-Goodie (OBG) post
Click on image to enlarge.Research that falls under the breadth of the topic of human intelligence is extensive.For decades I have attempted to keep abreast with intelligence-related research, particularly research that would help with the development, analysis, and interpretation of applied intelligence tests. I frequently struggled with integrating research that focused on brain-behavior relations or networks, neural efficiency, etc. I then rediscovered a simple three-level categorization of intelligence research byEarl Hunt. I modified it into a four-level model, and the model is represented in t...
