Phlogiston, fluid intelligence, and the Lynn-Flynn effect

Abstrakt

Blair's assertion that fluid intelligence (gF) is distinct from general intelligence (g) is contradictory to cumulative evidence from intelligence research, including extant and novel evidence about generational IQ gains (Lynn-Flynn effect). Because of the near unity of gF and g, his hypothetical concept of gF' (gF "purged" of g variance) may well be a phlogiston theory. Π2006 Cambridge University Press.
