Brody, Nathan – Intelligence, 1998
Discusses the contributions of Arthur Jensen to the study of intelligence and considers his writings on the topic of racial differences in scores on tests of intelligence. Concludes with a discussion of his work on the correlates of the "g" vector (general intelligence factor). (Author/SLD)
Descriptors: Cognitive Processes, Genetics, Intelligence, Nature Nurture Controversy

Sternberg, Robert J. – Intelligence, 1998
Describes some of the ways conformity in science is rewarded and defiance punished with reference to the work of Arthur Jensen. Notes that some of his work makes outstanding contributions to the science of intelligence, while other work is considered regressive. (SLD)
Descriptors: Cognitive Processes, Genetics, Intelligence, Nature Nurture Controversy
From the Cognitive to the Biological: A Sketch of Arthur Jensen's Contributions to the Study of "g."

Vernon, Philip A. – Intelligence, 1998
Describes Arthur Jensen's contributions to the study of general intelligence ("g"). His research has led to studies of genetic intelligence and speed of cognitive processing and the study of biological correlates of "g." (SLD)
Descriptors: Biological Influences, Cognitive Processes, Genetics, Intelligence

Bouchard, Thomas J., Jr. – Intelligence, 1998
Reviews the work of Arthur Jensen, noting his extensive bibliography and characterizing his work as an extension of the British Biological-Theoretical Tradition. Proposes a new definition of "Jensenism" based on the Jansenist heresy. (SLD)
Descriptors: Biological Influences, Cognitive Processes, Genetics, Intelligence

Gottfredson, Linda S. – Intelligence, 1998
Describes public controversy over Jensen's work on genetic differences in intelligence as an example of sociopolitical consequences that can accompany the dispersion in "g" (general factor of intelligence) in a society. (Author/SLD)
Descriptors: Cognitive Processes, Genetics, Intelligence, Nature Nurture Controversy

Scarr, Sandra – Intelligence, 1998
Focuses on the integrity and ethics of Arthur Jensen, while tracing the negative reactions his work on genetic differences in intelligence has evoked. Outlines some other areas in which Jensen has worked and commends his emphasis on honest psychological science. (SLD)
Descriptors: Cognitive Processes, Ethics, Genetics, Intelligence

Gottfredson, Linda S. – Intelligence, 1997
This statement signed by 52 researchers outlines conclusions regarded as mainstream among researchers on intelligence, especially on the nature, origins, and practical consequences of individual and group differences in intelligence. The survey from which the statement was developed is described. (SLD)

Kaufman, Alan S. – Intelligence, 1998
Redefines "Jensenism" in terms of the personal qualities and beliefs that have made Jensen a researcher of note, including tackling controversial topics with empiricism. Illustrates these aspects of "Jensenism" by recounting personal experiences with Jensen and his research. (SLD)
Descriptors: Cognitive Processes, Genetics, Intelligence, Nature Nurture Controversy

Baumeister, Alfred A. – Intelligence, 1998
In addition to establishing the relationship between reaction time (RT) and intelligence, Jensen has explored the role of intraindividual variability and its genetic basis. Jensen's theories blend facts from behavioral research on RT with neurological events. (Author/SLD)

Deary, Ian J.; Crawford, J. R. – Intelligence, 1998
Considers the contribution to information-processing accounts of human intelligence differences made by Arthur Jensen, commending his persistence in research and noting his reductionist orientation. Explores the question of correlated vectors studied by Jensen. (SLD)
Descriptors: Biological Influences, Cognitive Processes, Correlation, Genetics

Nettelbeck, Ted – Intelligence, 1998
Reviews the chronometric research conducted by Arthur Jensen and what it has done to support the idea of a correlation between various composite reaction-time variables and IQ tests. Discusses the importance of Jensen's work in the exploration of general intelligence. (SLD)
