Jensen, Arthur R. – Intelligence, 1998
Discusses work by Arthur Jensen in addition to his well-known work on the genetics of intelligence. Includes studies of learning, memory, the cumulative-deficit hypothesis, Spearman's hypothesis, and the speed of information processing. (SLD)
Descriptors: Cognitive Processes, Genetics, Intelligence, Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Rushton, J. Philippe – Intelligence, 1998
Comments on the work of Arthur Jensen, specifically "The g Factor" (1998), which consolidates the psychometric, neurophysiological, behavior genetic, and comparative evidence for the existence and importance of a factor of general intelligence ("g"). Discusses Jensen's work on black/white differences in intelligence. (SLD)
Descriptors: Blacks, Cognitive Processes, Genetics, Intelligence

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)

Carroll, John B. – Intelligence, 2002
This book, a critique of "The Bell Curve" by R. Herrnstein and C. Murray, explores what "inequality" in society means, how it arises, and how it can be measured or dealt with quantitatively. It also considers how societal and other variables work to increase or decrease inequality. The book argues that "The Bell…

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)

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)

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)

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)

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

Levin, Michael; And Others – Intelligence, 1994
Michael Levin argues that data from the study are consistent with a black/white IQ difference that is significantly genetic. Richard Lynn maintains that adoption by middle-class, white families has no effect on intelligence. Waldman, Weinberg, and Scarr respond to these criticisms and support the original conclusions. (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)

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)

Weyher, Harry F. – Intelligence, 1998
The president of the Pioneer Fund, a nonprofit foundation that makes grants into studies of individual and racial differences, addresses some of the media attacks on the fund in the context of the nature-nurture controversy. (SLD)

Jensen, Arthur R.; Johnson, Fred W. – Intelligence, 1994
An analysis of intelligence quotient (IQ) in relation to head size was performed on about 14,000 children aged 4 and 7 years, almost equally divided by race (white and black) and sex. Correlation between head size (by inference, brain size), and IQ is established as a within-families correlation. (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)
