ACT and general cognitive ability
Research on the SAT has shown a substantial correlation with measures of g such as the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). Another widely administered test for college admission is the American College Test (ACT). Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979, measures of g were derived from the ASVAB and correlated with ACT scores for 1075 participants. The resulting cor...
متن کاملOpinion pooling on general agendas
How can di¤erent individualsprobability assignments to some events be aggregated into a collective probability assignment? Although there are several classic results on this problem, they all assume that the agendaof relevant events forms a -algebra, an overly demanding assumption for many practical applications. We drop this assumption and explore probabilistic opinion pooling on general ag...
متن کاملHomozygosity mapping of achromatopsia to chromosome 2 using DNA pooling.
Achromatopsia is an autosomal recessive disease of the retina, characterized clinically by an inability to distinguish colors, impaired visual acuity, nystagmus and photophobia. A genome-wide search for linkage was performed using an inbred Jewish kindred from Iran. To facilitate the genome-wide search, we utilized a DNA pooling strategy which takes advantage of the likelihood that the disease ...
متن کاملGenetics and general cognitive ability : Article : Nature
General cognitive ability (g), often referred to as 'general intelligence', predicts social outcomes such as educational and occupational levels far better than any other behavioural trait. g is one of the most heritable behavioural traits, and genes that contribute to the heritability of g will certainly be identified. What are the scientific and social implications of finding genes associated...
متن کاملOn the Link between Fact Learning and General Cognitive Ability
Adaptive fact learning systems have been developed to make optimal use of testing and spacing effects by taking into account individual differences in learning efficiency. Measures derived from these systems, capturing the individual differences, predict later performance in similar and different fact learning tasks. Additionally, there is a rich body of literature showing that individual diffe...
