Consistent g- as well as consistent verbal-, numerical- and figural-factors in nested factor models? Confirmatory factor analyses using three test batteries
Sonja Valerius,Jörn R. Sparfeldt +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the correlations of the test-battery-specific verbal and numerical factors evidenced convergent and discriminant validity (convergent correlations: verbal − r ǫ= ǔ.83; numerical − rǫ = ǒ.46; figural − r .91); the correlations showed evidence that some group factors (besides the g -factors) of different test-balancers are largely similar.

Antti Latvala,Annamari Tuulio-Henriksson,D. M. Dick,Eero Vuoksimaa,Richard J. Viken,Jaana Suvisaari,Jaakko Kaprio,Richard J. Rose +7 more
TL;DR: Poorer verbal ability and AD have partly overlapping biological etiology, and the genetic and environmental influences on the development of cognitive abilities, alcohol problems and risk factors for AD should be studied further with prospective longitudinal designs.
