    Study Notes

    Cognitive Ability Models: Cattell Horn vs. Carroll

    • The Cattell Horn Model proposes that the original g factor of Spearman breaks down into two major cognitive abilities: fluid intelligence (gf) and crystallized intelligence (gc).
    • Cattell's theory explains that low fluid intelligence limits the rate at which a person can acquire and retain new knowledge, while high fluid intelligence allows for fewer constraints on learning.
    • The influence of fluid intelligence on crystallized intelligence is moderated by investment, which can be due to societal, familial, and personal investments.
    • Horn proposed an additional eight broad ability factors, including quantitative knowledge, short-term memory, visual processing, auditory processing, long-term retrieval, processing speed, correct decision speed, and reading/writing.
    • Carroll's Principia presents a comprehensive account of human cognitive abilities, using systematic exploratory factor analysis of over 460 human cognitive ability datasets.
    • Primary ability (first-order) factors emerge when a battery of tests covering the spectrum of abilities are subjected to factor analysis.
    • The main higher-order ability factors extracted from Carroll's analyses include fluid intelligence, crystallized intelligence, visual perception, auditory perception, cognitive speed, retrieval ability, and memory ability.
    • Carroll's model is a hierarchical model with three levels or strata: top (third) stratum III (general ability), second stratum II (broad abilities), and first stratum I (narrow abilities).
    • The main differences between the Cattell Horn Model and Carroll's model are that Cattell Horn did not include a general intelligence factor (g) at the top stratum, and Cattell Horn included a quantitative knowledge domain and reading and writing abilities at the second stratum while Carroll did not.
    • Both models have similarities, including the recognition of fluid and crystallized intelligence as major cognitive abilities, the use of factor analysis, and the positive manifold.
    • The positive manifold is explained by the strong correlation between gf and gc, where gf causes gc via investment, but investments pay smaller dividends for people low in gf.
    • The intelligence factors in both models are inter-correlated positively with each other, indicating that cognitive abilities are related and can influence one another.
