In Part1 of my extended account of Process Overlap Theory I explained how general intelligence (g) is a statistical fiction that doesn’t represent any real psychological processes or neural mechanisms in the brain. What is real in the brain when we take an IQ test or apply our intelligence are ‘domain general’ executive processes (with […]
