Can you give an example of reading and writing ability in general factor of intelligence?

Reading and writing ability, being cognitive skills, are often associated with the general factor of intelligence known as g factor. This factor represents an individual’s overall cognitive ability across different domains. For example, individuals with a high g factor are likely to excel in tasks that involve reading comprehension, writing coherent arguments, and understanding complex texts.


Who would have been most enthusiastic about the vaiues of a single intelligence test score as an index of an individual's mental capacities?

Psychologists who support the concept of general intelligence (g-factor) would be most enthusiastic about using a single intelligence test score as an index of an individual's mental capacities. They believe that this score reflects an underlying intelligence factor that influences performance on a variety of cognitive tasks.


When the effect of one factor depends on the presence of another factor outcomes are said to reflect?

When the effect of one factor depends on the presence of another factor, outcomes are said to reflect an interaction effect. This means that the relationship between the two factors is not additive; instead, the impact of one factor changes depending on the level of the other factor.


Who would have supported the notion that intelligence resulted from a single ability and could be represented by a single test score?

I personally highly disagree with this idiotic notion but everyone who takes Intelligence Quotient scores seriously takes this idea seriously. Of course nowadays when employers seek employees they look at community service and criminal records as well as test scores, depending on the requirements of the job.


Find the greatest possible error for the measurement 0.991 g?

The greatest possible error for the measurement 0.991 g would be half of the smallest measurable unit, which is typically 0.001 g for this measurement. Therefore, the greatest possible error would be ±0.0005 g.
