Showing papers in "Intelligence in 1999"

TL;DR: The Multifactor Emotional Intelligence Scale (MEIS) as discussed by the authors is a 12-sub-scale ability test of emotional intelligence, which measures the ability of an individual with respect to a set of abilities.

TL;DR: New evidence is presented on the developmental theory of sex differences in intelligence which states that girls mature more rapidly in brain size and neurological development than boys up to the age of 15 years, and a discernible male advantage of about 4 IQ points develops from the Age of 16 into adulthood, consistent with the larger average male brain size.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present simple and direct demonstrations showing why basic measurement principles require that biases in data created by measurement error be removed and refutes commonly heard objections to the corrections for these biases.

TL;DR: In this article, the ongoing EEG was analyzed for a sample of 60 subjects during five experimental conditions: eyes closed, eyes open, memorizing words and counting backward in steps of 3 and 7.

TL;DR: The 1968 publication of the Rosenthal and Jacobson's Pygmalion in the Classroom offered the optimistic message that raising teachers' expectations of their pupils' potentials would raise their pupil's intelligence.

TL;DR: Sternberg as discussed by the authors has proposed that the general intelligence, or the g factor, obtained when batteries of mental tests are factor analyzed, is a reflection of the fact that executive functions (EF) are common to all cognitive tests.

TL;DR: For instance, this paper examined the domain of chess and found that the median age of the top 50 players dropped from 38 years old in the 1970's to 29 in 1995, and the proportion aged under 25 more than doubled.

TL;DR: The COCOMO-II software cost estimation model offers an estimate of the cost of adapting reusable sub-routines for a new project, and a learning curve must be traversed before a module can be adapted.

TL;DR: Inspection time (IT) has been shown to correlate reliably with putative tests of general intelligence such as Raven's matrices and more strongly with performance IQ than with verbal IQ from the Wechsler scales.

TL;DR: The concepts of ontology and software patterns overlap, and useful feedback to the field of ontologies can come from software patterns—they always involve knowledge, just like ontologies.

TL;DR: An overall correlation of 40 was found between MRI-measured total area and IQ thereby further supporting the IQ–brain size hypothesis and additional analyses suggested that these results may need qualification.

TL;DR: A test is developed that isolates this speed of sampling variable, and a method to check whether this variable was adequately isolated, and it is found that the speed at which people sample from such distributions is an important variable in solving APM items.

TL;DR: This article examined the relationship between elementary cognitive tasks (ECTs) and the general factor or g, of intelligence, and investigated the pattern of correlations of these tasks with estimates of g, and their roles in g estimates when g estimates were used to explain scholastic performance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of practice, response strategies, and attentiveness on inspection time and its relation to IQ were examined and it was found that attentiveness is at least in part responsible for the IT-IQ correlation.

TL;DR: In this article, a new auditory inspection time (AIT) task based on the ability of human subjects to locate the left or right position of a stereophonic source and on a modified version of the Raven's Progressive Matrices (MRPM) was presented.

TL;DR: In this article, a sample of 1349 cousin pairs from 344 families was used to examine whether correlations between family characteristics and children's IQs represented causal effects, i.e., correlations in one family and IQs of children in the other family are the product of the correlation between families characteristics and IQ times the correlation of family characteristics of cousins.

TL;DR: This work specied and built systems for giving medical students an opportunity to practice their decision making skills in English (B2); performing template-based natural language generation (YAG); detecting and rebutting arguments (ARGUER); recognizing and repairing misunderstandings (RRM); and assessing and augmenting patients' health knowledge (PEAS).

TL;DR: Early intervention research with children at risk for mild mental retardation (MR) is considered and found to have a key role in resolving debate regarding the inherent immutability or modifiability of intelligence.

TL;DR: Game playing is one of the oldest AI topics, and yet it is worth revisiting in the context of a three-to four-week programming exercise in a one-semester course.

TL;DR: In this article, the presence or absence of a form in a random-dot kinematogram (RDK) was investigated in individuals with and without mental retardation and autism.

TL;DR: A general introduction to reengineering business processes and the support of reengineering using computer-based tools is provided and a particular “best practices” knowledge-based system designed to facilitate and support reengineering of procurement systems is discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the modified blink reflex (MBR) was measured across conditions that manipulated the stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) between a reflex-eliciting tap to the forehead and a modifying tone.

TL;DR: Initial evidence is provided that theoretically corresponding component processes were generalizable (convergent validity) and theoretically noncorresponding component processes did not generalize (discriminant validity) across the given task universe.

TL;DR: A rich set of pedagogical devices can be available to enhance students' experience with AI, and the appeal here is to focus energies into extending the boundaries of use of these artifacts.

TL;DR: Undergraduate courses that go beyond the standard introductory AI course are examined, which enable the creation of interdiscipli-nary AI courses that require active class participation.

TL;DR: Garbage Collection is also a feature of the Java language, the de facto language of " the Web, " the Internet, the Information Superhighway and E-commerce, so what information does the Internet hold and how can it be accessed?

TL;DR: The results from this study indicate that variation in CGG size, among normal size FMR2 alleles, is not a contributor to normal variation in intelligence.
