“…This begs the following question: What is special about the Raven test that other measures lack? The answer to this question lies in the fact that the measure consistently loads highly on g and appears to be quite sensitive to individual differences (Marshalek, Lohman, & Snow, 1983). Although this is appropriate for small-scale experimental research, more sensitive tests involve the extraction of a Gf latent factor.…”

“…Moreover, the results suggest that the complexity of the plan held in working memory increases the strength of the relationship between goal failures and fluid intelligence. In addition, the results of the current study highlight the conceptual relationship between task complexity and fluid intelligence, which has been hypothesized and investigated for some time (Marshalek, Lohman, & Snow, 1983;Primi, 2002;Stankov, 2000) but has typically been confounded with complexities unrelated to the task structure. The current study utilized Duncan et al's (2008) instruction manipulation where the two factors can be separated.…”

Task structure complexity and goal neglect in typically developing children

Goal neglect is a failure to enact task requirements despite being able to accurately report them.In this study, we introduce a new child-appropriate experimental paradigm to measure goal neglect in children between the ages of 7 and 11, and test the hypothesis that the complexity of an action plan, not real-time trial demands, increases goal neglect. Sixty-six children (M age = 9.50) were administered a Feature Matching task. Half were given four rules for matching, and half three rules. After practice, the four-rule group was told to ignore the additional rule, and both groups completed an identical three-rule task. The results showed that the extra rule increased goal neglect and its correlation with fluid intelligence. While intermittent trial errors were correlated with fluid intelligence for both groups, only in the four-rule group were systematic rule failures (i.e., goal neglect) correlated with fluid intelligence. Task performance improved with chronological age, however when controlling for the influence of fluid intelligence, the relationship between age and task performance was effectively removed. This suggests a child's current level of fluid intelligence (and not age) determines task performance.We suggest that the relationship between goal neglect, complex task instructions, and fluid intelligence is linked to the mental preparation for future events; i.e., mentally compiling verbal instructions into a set of activated goal representations in working memory that represent what is to be done and under what circumstances.

“…Gestützt wird diese Überlegung durch psychometrische Konzeptionen, die den Generalfaktor der Intelligenz unter Verweis auf den Begriff der "exekutiven Kontrolle" in ähnlicher Weise definieren wie Piaget den Begriff der reflektierenden Abstraktion (vgl. Marshalek, Lohman & Snow, 1983, S. 124-125 mit Piaget, 1977 …”

Intellectual development across the lifespan: Overview and research perspectivesAbstract. Informed by the distinction between biology-based mechanics and cultural pragmatics, this article summarizes intellectual development from a lifespan perspective. Topics include: (a) varieties of mechanic-pragmatic interdependence; (b) ontogenetic changes in relative stability, heritability, and factor structure differentiation; (c) historical and ontogenetic plasticity of intellectual performance; (d) age differences in the mechanics of cognition: purification of measurement; and (e) the search for basic determinants of age changes in the mechanics of cognition. It is argued that a valid conceptualization of intellectual development needs to do justice to both domain-general and domain-specific aspects of change.
