8. Spearman developed a “two-factor theory” (general intelligence factor-g + specific factors) to account for correlations between measures of sensory-discrimination (Galton tradition). Carroll (1993) suggested that it might be better called a "one-general-factor theory." g was hypothesized to represent a fixed amount of “mental energy.” Spearman hypothesized that the g factor involved three major mental processes--apprehension of experience; eduction of relations; eduction of correlates. Spearman generally credited with introducing the notion of factor analysis to the study of human abilities. According to Carroll (1993), Spearman and his students eventually began to study other possible factors beyond g. The Spearman-Holzginer Model, which was based on Holzinger's development of the "bi-factor" method, suggested g plus five group factors (verbal, perceptual speed, spatial relations, recognition, and associative memory) (Spearman, 1939).

10. British factor analysis tradition (1909-1961) The British models suggested that most of the variance of human intelligence was attributable to g and to very small group factors, and that the importance of the broader group factors was meager (Gustafsson, 1988). According to Gustafsson (1988), Burt’s model was to a great extent “logically constructed” and thus did not have major impact. In contrast, Horn stated that Burt’s model was very influential (Horn & Noll, 1997). Vernon 's (1950, 1961) model, which had a g-factor at the apex of the hierarchy, and at the next level two major group-factors (verbal-numerical-educational-v:ed; spatial-practical-mechanical-physical--k:m) received more widespread attention.

19. Original Gf-Gc Theory (1941-1965) Raymond Cattell was a student and research associate of Charles Spearman. He proposed the original Gf-Gc theory of intelligence (Cattell, 1941, 1943 ), the formal beginning of the Cattell-Horn Gf-Gc theory. Fluid (Gf) and Crystallized (Gc) intelligence factors were extracted from second-order factor analysis of first-order (e.g., PMA) abilities Gf intelligence reflected basic reasoning abilities and higher mental processes while Gc intelligence reflected what an individual had learned from exposure to their culture through education and experiences, via the "investment" of their Gf abilities.

23. Original Gf-Gc Theory (1941-1965) According to Carroll (1993), it wasn't until John Horn, a student of Cattell's, completed his dissertation (Horn, 1965) that there was "the first clear test of the theory."

39. The verdict is unanimous re: the importance of Carroll’s (1993) work Richard Snow (1993): “John Carroll has done a magnificent thing. He has reviewed and reanalyzed the world’s literature on individual differences in cognitive abilities…no one else could have done it… it defines the taxonomy of cognitive differential psychology for many years to come.” Burns (1994): Carroll’s book “is simply the finest work of research and scholarship I have read and is destined to be the classic study and referencework on human abilities for decades to come” (p. 35). John Horn (1998): A “tour de force summary and integration” that is the “definitive foundation for current theory” (p. 58). Horn compared Carroll’s summary to “Mendelyev’s first presentation of a periodic table of elements in chemistry” (p. 58). Arthur Jensen (2004): “…on my first reading this tome, in 1993, I was reminded of the conductor Hans von Bülow’s exclamation on first reading the full orchestral score of Wagner’s Die Meistersinger, ‘‘It’s impossible, but there it is!’’ “Carroll’s magnum opus thus distills and synthesizes the results of a century of factor analyses of mental tests. It is virtually the grand finale of the era of psychometric description and taxonomy of human cognitive abilities. It is unlikely that his monumental feat will ever be attempted again by anyone, or that it could be much improved on. It will long be the key reference point and a solid foundation for the explanatory era of differential psychology that we now see burgeoning in genetics and the brain sciences” (p. 5).
40. Gf-Gc Theory Extended (1965-1998) – Woodcock (1998) (1998) Addition of Grw (general reading/writing broad factor), similar to “English language use” factor/ability suggested by Horn over a number of years
41. Gf-Gc Theory Extended (1965-1998) – Woodcock (1999) Addition of Gq (quantitative knowledge) broad factor/ability as distinct from quantitative reasoning under Gf broad factor.
42. This period of psychometric research resulted in a flurry of test revisions and the introduction of new intelligence batteries measuring multiple cognitive abilities Venerable Wechsler and SB batteries revised to reflect research that suggested a number of broad cognitive abilities (between g and narrow abilities). Both moved to four-factor/index models. Note that arrows are still dashed as these developments were not explicitly based on a “complete” psychometric theoretical model of intelligence. Same designation holds for original DAS (1990) Movement in IQ test development was clearly the embracing of more broad multiple cognitive abilities as most all (excluding KAIT) new tests provided at least four cluster/composite ability measures. Note solid arrows for K-ABC and CAS as they were theory-based, albeit on non-psychometric models of intelligence (Luria-Das). KAIT also noted with bold arrow as it was grounded in Cattell’s original dichotomous Gf-Gc theoretical model Due to space limitations the most significant IQ test development event (Ext. Gf-Gc theory based WJ-R) is reported separately (a few slides later) SB-IV (1986) WISC-III(1991) WAIS-III (1997) WAIS-R (1981) K-ABC (1983) CAS (1997) DAS (1990) KAIT (1993)
43. The fortuitous March, 1986 “meeting of the minds” – the CHC Intelligence-to-Theory “flash point” “It is this author’s personal opinion, that this moment, a moment where the interests and wisdom of a leading applied test developer (Woodcock), the leading proponent of Cattell-Horn Gf-Gc theory (Horn), and one of the preeminent educational psychologists and scholars of the factor analysis of human abilities (Carroll) intersected (see section C in Table 1), was the flash point that resulted in all subsequent theory-to--practice bridging events that led to today’s CHC theory and related assessment developments. A fortuitous set of events had resulted in the psychometric stars aligning themselves in perfect position to lead the way for most all subsequent CHC assessment related developments.” (McGrew, 2004, 2005)
44. WJ-R (1989) John Horn and John “Jack” Carroll were theoretical consultants on the 1989 WJ-R and 2001 WJ III Thus, the WJ-R was the first IQ battery to bridge the contemporary intelligence theory/research and assessment practice gap WJ III (2001)
45. What was occurring with the formal AAMD/AAMR/AAIDD IQ component of the definition of MR/ID? Information extracted from Greesspan & Switzky (2006) chapter: “Forty-four years of AAMR Manuals” Note. Both 1992 and 2002 AAMR models dropped the word “general” from “general intellectual functioning” – result was reference only to intellectual functioning. 1992 manual 2002 manual Mental retardation refers to substantial limitations in present functioning. It is characterized by significantly subaverageintellectual functioning , existing concurrently with related limitations in two or more of the following applicable adaptive skill areas; communication, self-care, home living, social skills, community use, self-direction, health and safety, functional academics, leisure and work. Mental retardation manifests itself before age 18 Mental retardation is a disability characterized by significant limitations in intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior as expressed in conceptual, social, and practical living skills. This disability originates before age 18.
46. T2 T3 T4 T5 T6 T7 T8 T9 T1 T12 T10 T11 At the end of Extended Gf-Gc Period the intellectual component of official AAMR MR/ID definition focused on intellectual functioning and not “general” intellectual functioning…almost..but… g According to Greenspan & Switzky (2006), an innovation in the 2002 manual was an effort to conceptually define intelligence as “a general mental ability [that] includes reasoning, planning, solving problems, thinking abstractly, comprehending complex ides, learning quickly, and learning from experience” (p. 51) However, intellectual functioning was operationally defined as being based on a “general functioning IQ” The manual (correctly, IMHO) noted the movement among intelligence scholars, as reflected in the above referenced psychometric period of research and theory (as defined by current author—Kevin McGrew), away from a reliance on a single measure of “g” (general intelligence). But……. “until more robust instruments based upon one of the many promising multifactor theories of intellectual abilities are developed and demonstrated to be psychometrically sound, we will continue to rely on a global (general factor) IQ [score]. (p. 66). Spearman’s general factor model
47. What was occurring with the formal AAMD/AAMR/AAIDD IQ component of the definition of MR/ID? The 2002 manual correctly noted the movement among intelligence scholars, away from a reliance on a single measure of “g” (general intelligence). But…the manual was incorrect in the following conclusion “until more robust instruments based upon one of the many promising multifactor theories of intellectual abilities are developed and demonstrated to be psychometrically sound, we will continue to rely on a global (general factor) IQ [score]. (p. 66). Instruments based upon the then recognized Extended Gf-Gc theory had “bridged” the intelligence theory-IQ assessment gap 13 years earlier, and had been advanced further in 2001. 1992 manual 2002 manual WJ III (2001) WJ-R (1989) Contemporary Psychometric Intelligence Theory—AAMR MR Def.

Hartel (Eds.), Mental retardation: Determining eligibility for Social Security benefits. Washington, DC: National Academy Press In 2002, a national panel of MR experts recognized the clear CHC movement in the design and revision of IQ tests used to identify MR/ID. More importantly, there was a recognition of a movement (based on solid psychometric theory research) on part scores and less reliance on a g-based full scale total composite IQ score
49. At the end of Extended Gf-Gc Period B the intellectual component of official AAMR MR/ID definition was still “stuck on g” (general intelligence)…and a contemporary intelligence theory-AAMR MR definition gapnow existed Three and 13 years prior to the publication of the 1992 and 2002 AAMR manuals respectively, the first-ever IQ (+ ACH) battery (WJ-R) explicitly based on the then known and validated Extended Gf-Gc theory, was published (1989), a battery that measured 9 broad Gf-Gc abilities and also provided general intelligence (g) composite scores (Broad Cognitive Ability) The 1992 manual made no mention of Ext. Gf-Gc theory nor the WJ-R. The manuals list of IQ instruments included the SB-IV, Wechsler batteries, and K-ABC (p. 37) and not the 1989 WJ-R. 10 years later (2002) the red manual recognized and referenced the seminal work of Carroll (1993) yet (a) referenced outdated articles for Horn & Cattell (1963, 1966) that reflected a lack of awareness of Ext. Gf-Gc Theory, (b) did not recognize that the Carroll and Cattell-Horn models were very similal models (major difference was over validity of g) and both were descendants of the Spearman psychometric tradition, (c) listed only non-Gf-Gc developed IQ batteries (Wechslers, SB-IV, CAS, K-ABC, and other special purpose tests) and omitted the 1989 (WJ-R) which had been published 13 years previously, and (d) failed to recognize a sizeable number of Cattell-Horn, Carroll, and WJ-R focused journal publications, books and book chapters published well before the 2002 manual revision.[See illustrative, but not exhaustive, WJ (and select Gf-Gc/CHC model references) reference list and examples on next set of slides].

81. CHC-IQ test design bandwagon begins: Other major IQ tests are revised and place the CHC model as the center of each batteries design blueprint. SB5 (Roid, 2003) CHC-based revision includes composite scores for 5 broad abilities (Gf, Gc, Gq, Gsm, Gv), via verbal and nonverbal tests. Kaufman & Kaufman (2004) revise the KABC-II with a dual theoretical model (Luria-Das and CHC) blueprint, but with the CHC model recommended as the primary organizational structure to use. Elliott (2007) revises the Differential Abilities Scales--II (DAS-II) with a heavy CHC influence. WISC-IV (2003) and WAIS-IV (2008), although not explicitly based on CHC theory, were implicitly influenced by CHC theory.

Hartel (Eds.), Mental retardation: Determining eligibility for Social Security benefits. Washington, DC: National Academy Press In 2002, a national panel of MR experts recognized the clear CHC movement in the design and revision of IQ tests used to identify MR/ID. More importantly, there was a recognition of a movement (based on solid psychometric theory/research) on part scores and less reliance on a g-based full scale total composite IQ score
85. AAIDD 11th edition (green manual) published 2010 “Stuck on g” Quotes from manual (emphasis via underline added by K. McGrew) Intellectual disability is characterized by significant limitations both in intellectual functioning and in adaptive behavior as expressed in conceptual, social and practical adaptive skills. This disability originates before age 18 (p. 5) Intelligence is a general mental ability (p.31) Intelligence is a single trait (p.32). A single dimension of intelligence continues to garner the most support within the scientific community…Thus, until such measures of multiple intelligences can be assessed reliably and validly, it is the position of AAIDD that intellectual functioning…is best conceptualized and captured by a general factor of intelligence (g) (p, 34)

87. Thecurrent AAIDD ID definition is still “stuck on g” (general intelligence)…and continues to be out of step with contemporary psychometric intelligence theory. A major intelligence theory-- AAIDD ID definition gap exists. This gap has potentially serious consequences for individuals with disabilities Despite the widespread acceptance and recognition of the contemporary CHC (aka Extended Gf-Gc) theory of intelligence by intelligence scholars, a 2002 national panel of MR/ID experts, and the clear movement in applied IQ test development to test batteries grounded in the CHC framework, AAIDD continues to be “stuck on g” The AAIDD definition of intelligence is out-of-date. A major intelligence theory—AAIDD ID definition gap exists Contemporary intelligence scholars, experts, and test developers recognize that although g (general intelligence) may exist at the apex of the CHC taxonomy of human cognitive abilities, there are broad (stratum II) abilities that are important (i.e., have differential validities) that can be assessed and, when interpreted appropriately, can provide a more valid and multidimensional picture of an individuals intellectual functioning. AAIDD’s continued use of the statement (with regard to measurement of multiple cognitive abilities) that “until such measures of multiple intelligences can be assessed reliably and validly, it is the position of AAIDD that intellectual functioning…is best conceptualized and captured by a general factor of intelligence” is simply wrong! Reliable and valid measures of the broad CHC ability domains exist and have been published in most intelligence batteries published from 1989 to 2008. The AAIDD g-position is at odds with the known heterogeneity of abilities within the ID (and general) population and fails to recognize that although a g-based total composite score may often represent the best single index of a person’s intellectual functioning, often the g-based composite score may lead to inaccurate conclusions regarding a person’s intellectual functioning and in these cases more attention should be focused on the component part scores. The stuck on g position has the potential to result in serious consequences for individuals, such as denial of special education services; denial of SS benefits, and unjust execution as in “Atkins MR/ID death penalty cases”.
