Dissecting Cognition: Spatial vs. Abstract Reasoning

Research into cognitive testing often aims to clarify the underlying structures of intelligence. This study analyzed data from the Jouve Cerebrals Test of Induction (JCTI) and the General Ability Measure for Adults (GAMA) to identify two distinct factors influencing reasoning abilities: spatial-temporal reasoning and abstract reasoning. Using data from 118 …

Exploring the Underlying Dimensions of Cognitive Abilities: A Multidimensional Scaling Analysis of JCCES and GAMA Subtests

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the relationships between tasks of the Jouve Cerebrals Crystallized Educational Scale (JCCES) and General Ability Measure for Adults (GAMA) using multidimensional scaling (MDS) analysis. The JCCES measures Verbal Analogies, Mathematical Problems, and General Knowledge, while the GAMA assesses nonverbal cognitive abilities through Matching, Analogies, …

Differentiating Cognitive Abilities: A Factor Analysis of JCCES and GAMA Subtests

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the differentiation between cognitive abilities assessed by the Jouve Cerebrals Crystallized Educational Scale (JCCES) and General Ability Measure for Adults (GAMA). A sample of 63 participants completed both JCCES and GAMA subtests. Pearson correlation and factor analysis were used to analyze the data. The …

Sex Differences in Technical Aptitude: Insights from Schmidt’s Study
Cognitive Abilities and Intelligence

Gender Differences in Technical Aptitude

Frank L. Schmidt’s 2011 article provides an in-depth examination of the observed differences between males and females in technical aptitude. The study attributes these differences to variations in experience and interest in technical domains rather than inherent differences in general mental ability (GMA). Through four predictive tests backed by a …
