The origins of the current CHC definitions: Where is the CHC definition birth certificate?
The historical development of the CHC model of intelligence has been documented byMcGrew (2005) andSchneider and McGrew (2012) and summarized by Kaufman and colleagues (Kaufman, 2009;Kaufman, Raiford& Coalson, 2016). An unexplained crucial, yet missing piece of the CHC story, is the origin of the original CHC broad and narrow ability definitions. The CHC ability definition birth certificate, until now, has not been located. To fend off possible CHC“birther” controversies, I will now set the record straight regarding the heritage of the past and current CHC definitions.Given the involvement of both...

The Predictive Validity of Four Intelligence Tests for School Grades: A Small Sample Longitudinal StudyJasmin T. Gygi,Priska Hagmann-von Arx*,Florine Schweizer andAlexander GrobDepartment of Psychology, University of Basel, Basel, SwitzerlandIntelligence is considered the strongest single predictor of scholastic achievement. However, little is known regarding the predictive validity of well-established intelligence tests for school grades.

Study: Rates of ADHD diagnosis and medication treatment continue to increase substantially
—
Beginning in about 1990, substantial increases in the rates of ADHD diagnosis and medical treatment were found in several nationally representative samples of US physician office visits. For example, between 1995-96 and 2007-08, the number of office visits at which an ADHD diagnosis was made increased by over 400% in adults – from 3.1 per 1000 visits to 14.5 per 1000 visits. And, the percent of adult office visits including both ADHD diagnosis and medication increased from 1.9 to 11.4 per 1000 visits.
Among children aged 5 to 18, between 1991-92 and 2008-09, rates of ADHD diagnosis increased nearly 4-fold among boys ...

Misunderstandings of the Hickok & Poeppel Dual Stream framework: Comments on Dial & Martin 2017
A recent paper by Dial& Martin (DM) presents some interesting data on the relation between performance on a range of different speech perception tasks including some that have been the topic of discussion on this blog and in many of my papers. These include syllable discrimination and auditory comprehension among others. I have argued in several papers with David Poeppel and others that these two tasks differentially engage the dorsal (syllable discrimination) and ventral streams (comprehension). DM sought to test this claim by testing how well these tasks hang together or dissociate in a group of 13 aph...

At the Cusp of Solving Cognitive Aging?
It’s Brain Awareness Week, and we’ll be hearing about breakthroughs in basic science that could lead to big advances in how we live. Yet, most of the discoveries will require decades of further work, before they help people. But, what if we had a time machine and could travel ahead to see which of these discoveries actually becomes important in our lives?
Well, we don’t have a time machine, but the two of us do have decades of experience in turning basic science discoveries into products that change lives. We want to tell you about that journey — from what we discovered in basic research decades ago to...
