"Intelligent" intelligence testing with the WJ IV COG #7: Why do some individuals obtain markedly different scores on the various WJ IV Ga tests?

This is # 7 in the "Intelligent" intelligence testing with the WJ IV COG series at IQs Corner.  Copies of the PPT module can be downloaded by clicking on the LinkedIn icon in the right-hand corner of the slide show below  A PDF copy of all slides can be found here.

This module was developed in response to a thread on the IAPCHC listserv where an individual asked for help in understanding why the WJ IV Phonological Processing test score could be so much different (lower) that the WJ IV Sound Blending and Segmentation test scores.

Enjoy.

A visual history of human knowledge

I am a HUGE fan of data visualization and network theory and analytics. I think these techniques, when applied to intelligence test data, could provide us much more important insights than the continued use (misuse?) of linear SEM/CFA models. Network visual models are elegant...and more reflective of "reality".

This is a very good TED talk.

I have made a number of posts that suggest that certain forms of brain training technology, particularly those that focus on quieting the default brain network (e.g., Interactive Metronome. https://www.interactivemetronome.com), appear to be doing something similar to certain forms of focused attention meditation.  See this one post in particular.  http://www.brainclock.net/2015/07/brain-networks-and-fine-tunning.html

The relations between executive functions, numerosity and later math achievement

Numerosity (aka number sense) has been a very hot and intriguing area of research this past decade. Yet another interesting study, this time demonstrating the role of executive functions...which are repeatedly found to be important for math cognition and achievement.
