Is Less Really More? Using Microlevel Sensory and Cognitive Measures to Predict Macrolevel Cognitive Outcomes.

Ceci, Stephen J.

American Journal on Mental Retardation, v97 n3 p287-90 Nov 1992

This article comments on the reporting by Douglas Detterman and others (EC 604 995) of a larger magnitude of g among young adults with mental retardation. Reliance on g-based measures for screening and diagnosis may thus be misleading, by implying that those tested were less differentiated than may be the case. (JDD)
