The Nature of Psychometric "g": Unitary Process or a Number of Independent Processes?

Kranzler, John H.; Jensen, Arthur R.

Intelligence, v15 n4 p397-422 Oct-Dec 1991

This study investigated whether a unitary elemental process or several independent processes underlie psychometric "g" (factor of general intelligence). Results with 101 college students administered 2 intelligence tests and a large battery of elementary cognitive tasks suggest that as many as 4 independent components make up "g." (SLD)
