Study Notes

Carroll's Human Cognitive Ability Datasets

Carroll's 1993 analysis included 461 datasets of human cognitive ability.
Carroll used exploratory factor analysis to analyze the datasets.
Carroll's resulting list of factors is hierarchical.
Stratum I factors emerge from the factor analysis of a battery of tests covering the spectrum of abilities.
Stratum II factors arise from the factor analysis of the correlations between first-order factors.
Stratum III factors arise from the factor analysis of the correlations between second-order factors.
Carroll extracted a three-stratum model of human cognitive abilities.
Stratum III includes the g factor responsible for the positive manifold.
Stratum II includes broad abilities such as fluid intelligence and crystallized intelligence.
Stratum I includes narrow abilities such as 'level factors' and/or 'speed factors'.

Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) Model

Horn's model (g) general intelligence at the top stratum.
Horn's model included a quantitative knowledge domain and reading and writing abilities at the second stratum.
Cattell-Horn and Carroll differed in their approach to memory.
John Carroll is principally responsible for the CHC model of intelligence.
The CHC model retained broad abilities in the second stratum.
Theoretical g plays a role in the CHC model as a factor underlying all cognitive abilities.
Stratum III of the CHC model is responsible for the general cognitive ability factor.
Stratum II of the CHC model includes 10 broad cognitive abilities.
Stratum I of the CHC model includes approximately 70 narrow cognitive abilities.
Fluid Intelligence (Gf) and Crystalized Intelligence (Gc) account for most of the variance in intelligence as measured by many intelligence tests.
Fluid Intelligence (Gf) is important in the solution of some kinds of problems.
Visual Processing (Gv) reflects the ability to retrieve material quickly from memory.
Auditory Processing (Ga) is involved in all tasks requiring auditory discrimination.
