Differences in understanding speech in noise among hearing-impaired individuals cannot be explained entirely by hearing thresholds alone, suggesting the contribution of other factors beyond standard auditory ones as derived from the audiogram. This paper reports two analyses addressing individual differences in the explanation of unaided speech-in-noise performance among n = 438 elderly hearing...

Article history: Received 17 December 2010 Received in revised form 30 March 2011 Accepted 31 March 2011 Available online 22 April 2011 A good sense of humor is sexually attractive, perhaps because it reveals intelligence, creativity, and other ‘good genes’ or ‘good parent’ traits. If so, intelligence should predict humor production ability, which in turn should predict mating success. In this ...

The neural basis of variation in human intelligence is not well delineated. Numerous studies relating measures of brain size such as brain weight, head circumference, CT or MRI brain volume to different intelligence test measures, with variously defined samples of subjects have yielded inconsistent findings with correlations from approximately 0 to 0.6, with most correlations approximately 0.3 ...

This review examined whether Loevinger's measure of personality (ego) development is equivalent to the measurement of intelligence. The authors conducted a meta-analysis of 52 correlations between ego level scores and intelligence test scores (retrieved from 42 studies involving 5,648 participants). The weighted average correlation between ego level and intelligence ranged from.20 to.34, depend...

Emotion regulation abilities, measured on a test of emotional intelligence, were related to several indicators of the quality of individuals' social interactions with peers. In a sample of 76 college students, emotion regulation abilities were associated with both self-reports and peer nominations of interpersonal sensitivity and prosocial tendencies, the proportion of positive vs. negative pee...

Tests of verbal intellegence (Concept Mastery Test) and nonverbal intelligence (Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices) showed nonsignificant zero-order correlations and a nonsignificant multiple correlation with critical flicker frequency (CFF), in 100 university students. Age-partialled correlations were even lower, and corrections for attenuation and restriction of range yielded unimpressive ...

Most Indonesian students have a problem speaking English as their foreign language. researchers agreed that it is generally caused by the verbal-linguistic Intelligence of students. This study aims to determine whether there relationship between students’ verbal – linguistic intelligence in ability speak using digital media (audio visual) classroom. The researcher used systematic literature rev...

This paper presents a series of psychometric meta-analysis on the relationship between cognitive reflection (CR) and several abilities (i.e., intelligence, numerical ability, verbal mechanical-spatial working memory), skills numeracy skills). Also, bifactor analysis carried out to determine whether CR is related but independent factor or second-stratum in hierarchical model intelligence. Finall...
