TL;DR: In a follow-up study as mentioned in this paper, the Moray House Test scores at age 11 and age 77 were 0.63 and 0.73, respectively, adjusted for attenuation of ability range within the re-tested sample.

TL;DR: A random sample of servers was obtained and analysed to investigate the amount and distribution of information on the web and the six major public search engines collectively covered about 60% of the web.

TL;DR: In this article, the differences in cognitive processes related to creativity and intelligence using EEG coherence and power measures in the lower (α 1 =7.9-10.0 Hz) and upper alpha band (α 2 =10.1-12.9 Hz) were investigated.

TL;DR: This article explored the contribution of two working memory systems (the articulatory loop and the central executive) and short-term memory to the word recognition and comprehension deficits of children with learning disabilities.

TL;DR: In this paper, a metacognitive process of self-confidence was assessed by asking participants to indicate how confident they were that the item they have just answered was correctly solved, and then estimating the number of correctly solved items at the end of each test.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied cognitive batteries to independent samples totaling 10,475 adult subjects (4,256 females and 6,219 males) and the scores were factor-analyzed by sex to obtain separate g factors.

TL;DR: In this article, the Unimed Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM) were administered to 309 17- to 23-year-old students at the University of the Witwatersrand and the Rand Afrikaans University in South Africa (173 Africans, 136 Whites; 205 women, 104 men).

TL;DR: In this article, changes in the distribution of scores on a set of tests used by the Danish draft board from the late 1950s until the present day are shown, showing that there were marked gains in earlier decades, especially in the lower end of the distribution, whereas the last 10 years have only seen very modest gains.

TL;DR: Professor Freedman's research focuses on reactive planning and theories of discourse and dialog processing with the goal of building better intelligent tutoring systems.

TL;DR: In this article, the heritability of psychometric intelligence was studied by employing two widely used ECTs (Sternberg's memory scanning and Posner's letter-matching task) as well as two psychometric IQ tests (Advanced Progressive Matrices and Leistungs-Pruf System) in a large sample of 169 monozygotic (MZ) and 131 dizygotic (DZ) twin pairs.

TL;DR: In this paper, six groups of 10th grade students were selected from distributions of a large stratified random sample of 1,000 American high schools (N=12,630) based on scores on a highly reliable composite of general intelligence.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether a change of test item sequencing, intended to increase test complexity, would cause increased involvement of general intelligence (G), and found that the items presented homogeneously showed higher G loadings.

TL;DR: The Infant Health and Development Program (IHDP) as mentioned in this paper is a comprehensive preschool program to avert health and intellectual impairments sometimes associated with premature low birthweight, and despite claims that IHDP successfully raised intelligence and prevented mental retardation, close examination of project data reveal that these assertions are without foundation.

TL;DR: This article examined the relationship between the family environment (as measured by the Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment-Short Form [HOME-SF]) and child and adolescent achievement, and determined the genetic and environmental contributions to this relationship.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the date calculation skills and performance on other calendar tasks by 10 calendrical savants whose WAIS IQs range from 50 to 97, indicating that the talent depends on intelligence, indicating features of autistic cognition such as obsessive preoccupation and weak central coherence may facilitate development of savant skills.

TL;DR: This article examines two approaches to modeling interface agents, which treat the user interface as a tool-using environment for an autonomous agent and a modeling approach, in which interface agents are treated as surrogate users.

TL;DR: Lisp's performance is comparable to or better than C++ in execution speed; it also has significantly lower variability, which translates into reduced project risk, and development time is significantly lower and less variable than either C++ or Java.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a test battery that synthesizes the psychometric strengths of maximal-performance tests and the engagingness of typical performance tests to measure the same abilities tapped by well-known conventional cognitive tests, but is viewed by examinees as less stressful, more interesting, and of greater real-world relevance than conventional tests.

TL;DR: In this paper, five knowledge tests and one implicit-reasoning task were developed to be: (1) exceptionally short, (2) correlated with general cognitive aptitude, (3) unobtrusive, i.e., appear similar to attitudinal survey items as opposed to maximal performance measures, and (4) without formally providing correct answers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether genetic variability explains some of the variance in coincidence timing and whether common genetic factors account for the association with intellectual functioning using the twin design and found that individual differences in number of hits (HITS), mean absolute error (MAE), and intra-individual trial-to-trial consistency (SD) were significantly influenced by genetic factors, accounting for approximately 50 percent of variance.

TL;DR: Networked information retrieval tools can be used to search the Web and provide information on demand to unsophisticated end users, and IR systems, such as search engines, are most useful when the user makes a precise query.

TL;DR: The purpose of this effort was to provide professors with materials that they could use to teach and discuss the ethical and social implications of computer technology, especially artificial intelligence and virtual reality (VR).

TL;DR: The human and computer subsystems should be structured and designed to work in mutually cooperating ways, and the quality of system decision and control depends greatly on thequality of information generation on its interfaces.

TL;DR: This article will be motivating the use of Java for building software for artificial intelligence (AI), and point out some existing AI resources that have been written in Java.

TL;DR: An undergraduate artificial intelligence course for a computer science department, correctly designed, should be able to be taken by any student with good analytic skills but lacking programming skills.
