Is Education Associated With Improvements in General Cognitive Ability, or in Specific Skills?
Previous research has indicated that education influences cognitive development, but it is unclear what, precisely, is being improved. Here, we tested whether education is associated with cognitive test score improvements via domain-general effects on general cognitive ability (g), or via domain-specific effects on particular cognitive skills. We conducted structural equation modeling on data f...
متن کاملClinical competence: general ability or case-specific?
BACKGROUND Before the 1970s, research into the development of clinical competence was mainly focused on general problem-solving abilities. The scope of research changed when Elstein and colleagues discovered that individual ability to solve clinical problems varies considerably across cases. It was concluded that problem solving abilities are highly dependent on domain-specific knowledge rather...
متن کاملThe Dyslexia Candidate Locus on 2p12 Is Associated with General Cognitive Ability and White Matter Structure
Independent studies have shown that candidate genes for dyslexia and specific language impairment (SLI) impact upon reading/language-specific traits in the general population. To further explore the effect of disorder-associated genes on cognitive functions, we investigated whether they play a role in broader cognitive traits. We tested a panel of dyslexia and SLI genetic risk factors for assoc...
متن کاملinteraction effects of general combining ability and specific combining ability with environment in virginia tobacco genotypes
to evaluate the effect of environment on the general and specific combining ability of virginia tobacco genotypes, five varieties were intercrossed in combination in 2007 in a half – diallel design. in 2008, the ten f1 population and the five parental lines were sown in two different conditions (drought stress and non-stress) using a complete randomized block design with three replications and ...
متن کاملPolygenic risk for Alzheimer's disease is not associated with cognitive ability or cognitive aging in non-demented older people.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) and non-pathological cognitive aging have phenotypic similarities which may be influenced by an overlapping set of genetic variants. Genome-wide complex trait analysis estimates that common genetic variants account for about 24% of the variation contributing to liability for AD. It is also estimated that 24% of the variance of non-pathological cognitive aging is account...
