“…Extreme heat, like extreme noise or extreme lack of ventilation, can adversely affect cognitive and other performance. These are among the many variables that contribute to the distinction between one's intellectual competence and one's intellectual performance (see Davidson & Sternberg 1985;Sternberg 2015). Intelligence as a stateas a level of performance distinct from and potentially lower than one's intelligence as a trait (competence)could be responsible for the differences that Van Lange et al have observed.…”

Life history theory serves as the foundation for the CLimate, Aggression, and Self-control in Humans (CLASH) model of aggression. However, this model embodies several misunderstandings of life history constructs and principles. The CLASH model does not recognize that environmental harshness and environmental unpredictability are unique theoretical constructs, rendering predictions and implications from the model suspect.

The CLASH model proposed in the target article is plausible but less than parsimonious. I suggest that statistical analysis probably would find slower life history strategy, greater focus on the future, and greater self-control to be highly correlated and perhaps unifactorial, because they are all manifestations of a single underlying variable, namely, intelligence. I suggest how intelligence as a state variable plausibly could explain the differences observed by the authors.
