The new Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) periodic table of cognitive elements: Build your own

The latest and greatest CHC periodic table of cognitive elements is now available!

I've been meaning to make this post for a long time.  Below are the front and back images of my official CHC periodic table of cognitive elements.  This revision reflects Dr. Joel Schneider and my CHC theory update chapter to be published this fall (I believe next month) in the latest CIA (contemporary intellectual assessment) book.

Some of you may be familiar with the fact that, for the prior version, I had the table professionally printed (one sheet...both sides used) and laminated.  I distributed these during some of my presentations and at conferences.  The response was always positive.  My original plan was to have a new batch professionally printed and laminated and to make them available for a nominal fee via PayPal.  However, I was stalled by the details of having to deal with different state sales taxes, accepting payments, packaging, and mailing.  Instead, I am now providing interested people with the actual JPEG images (click here to download).  You can print your own copy and laminate if you want.  Build your own CHC periodic table of cognitive elements!

A PDF copy of the latest definitions, abstracted from our chapter, can be found here.

Enjoy.

Highlights

•

Short-term memory for faces correlated positively with several stratum II factors.

•

Short-term memory for faces was associated with general intelligence at .34.

•

Short-term memory for faces should not be considered “special” (i.e., independent of g).

•

Prosopagnosia may be best characterised as a learning disability.

Abstract

The results associated with a small number of investigations suggest that individual differences in memory for faces, as measured by the Cambridge Face Memory Test (CFMT), are independent of intelligence. Consequently, memory for faces has been suggested to be a special construct, unlike other cognitive abilities. However, previous investigations have measured intelligence with only one or two subtests. Additionally, the sample sizes upon which previous investigations were based were relatively small (N = 45 to 80). Consequently, in this investigation, a battery of eight cognitive ability tests and the CFMT were administered to a relatively large number of participants (N = 211). Based on a correlated-factor model, memory for faces was found to be correlated positively with fluid intelligence (.29), short-term memory (.23) and lexical knowledge ability (.19). Additionally, based on a higher-order model, memory for faces was found to be associated with g at .34. The results are interpreted to suggest that memory for faces, as measured by the CFMT, may be characterised as a relatively typical narrow cognitive ability within the Cattell–Horn–Carroll (CHC) model of intelligence, rather than a special ability (i.e., independent of other abilities). Future research with a greater diversity in the measurement of face recognition ability is encouraged (e.g., long-term memory), as the CFMT is a measure of short-term face memory ability.

Honored to present (4 days ago) on CHC theory at the University of Indonesia

How is that for a CHC Periodic Table of Human Elements!!!!!! More to come in the next month on how to get your own (very much smaller) laminated version.  Click on image to enlarge.

This presentation is part of my work as a consultant on the YDB AJT COGTEST project, a project to develop the first ever individually administered comprehensive CHC based of intelligence developed and standardized in Indonesia.  It will be one of the most comprehensive measures of intelligence in the world, close to the coverage of the WJ IV.

The perfect holiday gift: The CHC periodic table of cognitive elements T-shirts

Back by popular demand, the blogmaster has created a new and improved CHC Theory Periodic Table of Human Cognitive Elements figure!  It is shown below.  Future updates will provide links to the updated definitions that go with each cognitive element code.  This new CHC periodic table represents the latest iteration of the CHC taxonomy of human cognitive abilities as summarized in the  WJ IV Technical Manual.

Even more exciting is that you can now purchase a t-shirt with the CHC Periodic Table printed on the front, with the title "The CHC Periodic Table:  What are you made of?"  You can find it here or go to the blog roll and click on IQs Corner Skreened blog badge.

CHC Periodic Table of Human Cognitive Elements: Spotted at UBC-Vancouver

Thanks to my friend and colleague, Dr. Laurie Ford, for sharing the following pics from the annual University of British Columbia (Vancouver) school psychology back-to-school camping retreat. If you look close, they are all wearing their CHC Periodic Table of Human Cognitive Elements ("What are you made of?") t-shirts. Click on images to enlarge.









Thanks students and Laurie. You made my day. You guys rock!

Where will they be spotted next?
