Document Summary
Why do we care: practical applications of work in cognitive aging, hiring, promotion, retirement, interventions. Another commentary: nilsson et al (2009, seeing what you want to see, generalizing across cognitive domains inappropriately. Salthouse"s (2009) data: salthouse sees steep linear decline, while other theorists see a decline in early adult hood and then it asymptote in mid- adulthood, salthouse was using data points that verified his hypotheses. What is intelligence : to judge well, to comprehend well, to reason well, these are the essentials of intelligence. Perceptual reasoning: block design: visual spatial processing, visual motor construction, matrix reasoning: nonverbal abstract problem solving; inductive reasoning, visual puzzles: visual spatial reasoning, figure weights (supplemental): ability to quickly perceive visual details, picture completion (supplemental): quantitative reasoning. Working memory: arithmetic, digit span (forward, backward, letter-number sequencing. Keep in mind: gf and gc interact to produce g, someone with high gc today probably had high gf at some point.
