Study Notes
Structure of Human Cognitive Abilities: Carroll's Model and Intelligence Testing
- Carroll (1993) conducted a comprehensive factor analysis of over 460 cognitive ability datasets to present a hierarchical model of human cognitive abilities.
- Primary ability factors, or first-order factors, emerge from correlations between a battery of tests and account for most of the variance in main tests of ability.
- Second-order factors, such as fluid intelligence and crystallized intelligence, are derived from correlations between primary factors and reflect broad abilities and processes.
- Third-order factors, such as inductive reasoning and verbal ability, are derived from correlations between second-order factors and represent a general reasoning ability or "g" factor.
- Carroll's model is a hierarchical model with three levels or strata: top (third) stratum, second stratum, and first stratum.
- The Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) model is a refinement of Carroll's model and includes 1 general stratum III factor, 16 stratum II factors, and over 70 stratum I factors.
- The two most well-known individual tests of intelligence are the Stanford-Binet test and the Wechsler scales for adults and children.
- The Stanford-Binet test measures five Cattell-Horn-Carroll factors, including fluid reasoning, knowledge, quantitative reasoning, visual-spatial processing, and working memory.
- The WAIS-IV is the current Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale and measures four factors: verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed.
- Group tests of intelligence include Raven's Matrices, the Mill-Hill and Crichton Scales, and the Culture-Fair Test.
- Raven's Matrices is considered a very good measure of fluid intelligence and is the best loading test for fluid intelligence in factor analytic studies.
- Vocabulary is the single best measure of crystallized intelligence, and the combination of a vocabulary test and Raven's Matrices yields an excellent assessment of the two intelligence factors.
