Article history: Received 24 September 2009 Received in revised form 21 March 2010 Accepted 22 March 2010 Available online 28 April 2010 Neuro-imaging studies of intelligence implicate the importance of a parietal–frontal network. One unresolved issue is whether this network underlies a general factor of intelligence (g) or other specific cognitive factors. A second unresolved issue is whether ...

Growing evidence indicates a moderate but significant relationship between processing speed in visuo-cognitive tasks and general intelligence. On the other hand, findings from neuroscience proposed that the primate visual system consists of two major pathways, the ventral pathway for objects recognition and the dorsal pathway for spatial processing and attentive analysis. Previous studies seeki...

AIM Mildly depressed IQ is common in treated phenylketonuria. This study explored whether a particular intellectual ability profile typifies early and continuously treated phenylketonuria and whether component skills comprising the IQ relate to socioeconomic and treatment factors. METHODS IQ scores were collected retrospectively from variants of the "Wechsler intelligence scale for children" ...

We investigated Gardner's “Theory of Multiple Intelligences” in a sample of 200 adults. For each of the hypothesized eight “intelligence” domains–Linguistic, Logical/Mathematical, Spatial, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Musical, Bodily-Kinesthetic, Naturalistic–we selected two tests based on Gardner's description of its content. Factor analysis revealed a large g factor having substantial loadin...

Spatial Cognition is concerned with the acquisition, organization, utilization, and revision of knowledge about spatial environments, be it real or abstract, human or machine. Spatial Cognition comprises research in very different scientific fields concerned with cognitive agents in spatial environments, such as robotics, artificial intelligence, architecture, geography, linguistics, cognitive ...

How animals acquire, store, update, and use spatial representations of their environments for localization and navigation is one of the central questions in Cog-nitive Science and Neuroscience. Design of robust algorithms for spatial learning for mobile robots for exploring a-priori unknown environments is one of the key problems in robotics and artiicial intelligence. This paper describes some...

The study aims to identify the types of metacognitive awareness as well as Multiple Intelligences with Taiwanese EFLs (English as Foreign Language) at medical junior colleges. In addition, metacognitive awareness and multiple intelligences were investigated to discover whether or not both factors affect students’ English reading performance, specifically in reading comprehension. A total of 454...

In all 278 members of British Mensa completed three questionnaires concerned with self-estimated intelligence (SEI), Beliefs about Intelligence and its measurement and a gender role inventory. Males rated their domain masculine intelligence (a combination of mathematical, spatial and verbal intelligence) almost three (143.9) and females more than two (134.3) standard deviations above the mean a...
