WMF Human Cognitive Abilities (HCA) archive project update 7-28-08

The free on-line WMF Human Cognitive Abilities (HCA) archive project was updated today. The major updates included the following:

• A number of new datasets (correlation matrices analyzed in Carroll's 1993 factor analysis meta-analysis) and original journal articles were added to the archive

• The HCA project needs help tracking down copies of old journal articles, dissertations, etc. for a number of datasets being archive. Please visit the "master bibliography/inventory" section of this archive and visit the on-line dataset/reference file. When viewing the on-line working inventory, manuscripts/references featured in the color red are those we are currently having trouble locating. If you have access to either a paper or e-copy of any of the designated "fugitive" documents, and would be willing to provide them to WMF to copy/scan (we would cover the costs), please contact Dr. Kevin McGrew at the email address listed at the site.

As of today, 60 of Jack Carroll's original correlation matrices are in various stages of archiving (approximately half are complete - i.e., they have both the correlation matrix and a PDF copy of the original publication available).

Please join the WMF HCA listserv to receive routine email updates regarding the WMF HCA project.

The paradox of choice

The paradox of choice has been an interesting topic of recent. An
article in SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN suggests that making too many choices
or decisions depletes limited thinking resources (executive functions)
with a subsequent drop off in quality of decisions as you make more.
You can read a brief summary at the blog link below which also
includes a link to the lengthier SA article.

Migraines explained

Thanks to MIND HACKS for providing a brief summary to the Scientific
American article that has been making the blogosphere rounds re: new
insights into the causes of migraines.

I used to suffer 10-12 of these a year and now am almost migraine
free. The article made sense to me as I used to explain my migraines
as being a major electrical storm in my head, that when done, gave me
a sense of calm...as if someone had hit a brain reset button and
shocked all my neurons back to a clean starting state.

Wechsler Arithmetic test: Measure of Gq or Gf?

What does the Wechsler Arithmetic test measure? Why has it's interpretation been so variable over the decades? Why is it now classified (as per CHC theory) as a mixed measure of Gsm (Short-term Memory - Working memory; MW) and Gf (Fluid Reasoning - Quantitative reasoning; RQ) in the latest Essentials of Cross-Battery Assessment book (Flanagan, Ortiz and Alfonso, 2007)? [Click here if you need more information on CHC theory and the major abilities, definitions, and abbreviations]

While preparing for my recent presentation at the Third National School Psychology Neuropsychology Conference, I consulted the 2nd edition of the Essentials of Cross-Battery book. I noticed on page 310 that, in contrast to prior cross-battery classifications of the Arithmetic test as a primary measure of Gq (Quantitative Knowledge-Math Achievement; A3) and Gf (Fluid Reasoning-Quantitative Reasoning; RQ) [Note - I was involved in these prior classifications as a coauthor of the first cross-battery book (ITDR: McGrew and Flanagan, 1998) and the Wechsler-specific spin-off cross-battery book (Flanagan, McGrew & Ortiz, 2000), it had now changed to Gsm and Gf.

First, a historical note. In the ITDR and Wechsler cross-battery books the primary Gq classification was based on a series of CHC/Gf-Gc designed cross-battery (joint) factor studies. The secondary Gf classification was a logical content analysis based classification, for which no available CHC/Gf-Gc cross-battery factor analysis supported the classification.

A review of page 310 in the 2nd Edition of the Essentials of CB indicates that the Gsm and Gf classifications are based on "factor analysis from the WISC-IV technical and interpretive manual (Psychological Corporation, 2003) and from the results of factor analysis reprted in Keith, Fine, Taub, Reynolds, and Kranzler (2006)." My problem with this change is that these supporting analyses are all within-battery (WISC-IV only) confirmatory factor analysis studies (CFA), and thus do not include the complete range of CHC indicators in the analysis, especially other Gq markers. If you want to see a prior post I made about my disagreement with the Keith et al. Arithmetic classification, click here. Personal communication with one of the XBA Essentials books authors indicates that the Gf classification is also intended to reflect content validity evidence.

Why do I take issue with the use of within-battery CFA to make CHC test classifications? If you want the long story you can read about the strengths and limitations of within- and cross-battery CFA studies in the first two XBA books listed above. If you want a short-course on the issue, you can check out an on-line PPT show I just uploaded that conceptually illustrates the limitations of within-battery CFA studies....and...more importantly, the advantage of CHC-designed cross-battery (joint) CFA studies classifying tests as per CHC theory.

To date I know of 9 different Wechsler/Woodcock-Johnson CHC/Gf-Gc designed cross-battery studies. All 9 studies include other markers of Gq (math achievement tests). In ALL of these analysis the Wechsler Arithmetic test has a large a significant loading on Gq (average loading in the mid .70's)....none on Gf. In one study (Phelps et al. 2005) there is a small secondary loading on Gs. In none of these cross-battery studies does Arithmetic display a significant Gsm factor loading. You can view a summary of these CHC-designed cross-battery findings, as well as the Keith et al. (2006) model upon which the current (and I believe inaccurate) Arithmetic Gf classification is based (due to a loading of .79 on a Gf factor), at the following link.

My two cents. I believe the best available analysis argue for the Wechsler Arithmetic test being interpreted primarily as a measure of Gq (Math Achievment-A3). I believe practitioners should not interpret this test as a primary or strong measure of Gf (Fluid Reasoning - Quantitative Reasoning; RQ). This does not mean that RQ is probably not involved. What the data indicate that if RQ is involved, the amount of variance is trivial and dwarfed by Gq-A3.

Conflict of interest disclosure - I'm a coauthor of the WJ III and thus have a financial interest in a competitor to the Wechsler batteries. I no longer receive any royalties from the two respective cross-battery books I coauthored.

CHC narrow abilities related to reading and math slide posted

I just returned from the National School Psychology Neuropsychology conference in Texas. A great conference with a very competent crowd of people to present to.

During my presentation it was brought to my attention that one of my key PPT slides/handouts (Key CHC narrow abilities important for reading and math achievement) on the all-presenter handout/slide CD was difficult to view due to problems with the shading scheme I had used. I promised to make a clean copy available via my blog for the participants. I've now posted three different versions of this slide for download. The formats provided are: PPT slide; JPEG image; PDF file. Take your choice and select whatever looks best for you.

Thanks for your patience. I hope to attend and present at this conference in the future.

CHC Gps and Gp: Developmental coordination disorder special issue

I just stumbled across a journal I had not seen before (Human Movement Science) that has a recent special issue devoted to developmental motor/coordination disorders. I simply have no degrees of freedom to add these articles to my "to do" reading list...so I'm just providing this FYI for others. As per the CHC theory/model of human abilities, this area of human functioning would reside under the broad CHC domains of Gps (psychomotor speed) and Gp (psychomotor abilities)

The editorial lead article is "New and emerging approaches to understanding developmental coordination disorder" (Wilson & Larkin, 2008) and can be viewed by clicking here. Below is the lead paragraph to the editorial article. It is followed by a listing of the articles in this issue.

• "The study of movement clumsiness in children (or Developmental Coordination Disorder (APA, 1994) has evolved considerably over the past 20 years. The field has mirrored parallel developments in the areas of motor control and learning, but also has influenced thinking in the mainstream developmental literature. A signifcant development has been cross-disciplinary approaches to understanding DCD; developmental disorders like DCD are of interest to psychologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, movement scientists, physical educators, paediatricians, child neurologists, nutritionists, and so on. Work has begun to integrate different methodologies, including genetic research using twin studies (e.g., Martin, Piek, & Hay, 2006), neurophysiology (e.g., Lust, Geuze, Wijers, & Wilson, 2006), and dynamical systems approaches (e.g., Whitall et al., 2006). This special issue of human movement science reflects this evolution. Furthermore, it shows how the work of international experts has influenced our very conception of atypical motor development, its broader impact on child and adolescent adjustment, and how movement skill can best be facilitated in children.....Papers here are drawn from the 7th International Conference on DCD, held in Melbourne, Australia in February 2007."
