CHC theory I love you
I occasionally like to spend some free time (when I need a break) surfing the net with certain key terms...just to see "what is out there." Tonight I searched for "CHC intelligence theory" and found all kinds of material. My favorite was a YouTube video and jingle about CHC theory. Cute.

New and emerging models of human intelligence (Conway and Kovacs): Comments and elaboration
A nice article that provides an overview of contemporary intelligence research. More importantly, the authors summarize and contrast the psychometric and information processing approaches to understanding human intelligence.
A few comments. Also, click on any image to enlarge and make more readable.
First. The CHC figure presented in the article is not a 100% accurate representation of the CHC model. The figure in the article is most consistent with Jack Carroll's 1993 model. His model was integrated with Cattell and Horn's models as the CHC model. A recent chapter by Schneider and McGrew (2012) provides the best summary of the "CHC" model.
Second. I have been a huge fan of Conway and Engle's executive attention model of working memory and love the figure explaining working memory and the focus of attention. In fact, in a recent IM Keynote presentation I used a simpler version of this model to explain the importance of attentional control (AC; aka focus) in working memory, and in turn, it's role in understanding higher level cognition. You can watch this material at the following YouTube video of the entire presentation. You should start at approximately the 28 minute mark to see the relevant material.

Finally. The authors make the following statements in their "future directions"conclusion. These points resonate to my thinking as recently outlined in a 4-level explanatory hierarchy for integrating different types of intelligence research. That information is available in the last (brief) video (Human Intelligence Research: Connecting the dots) at the end of this post.

Intelligence Testing in Proper Perspective: The Big Picture - a MindHub video-PPT show
I am pleased to announce the availability of my second video-PPT at IQ's Corner YouTube Channel. The first video can be found here. The current video is 20 minutes. You can skip the first three minutes if you don't want background "front matter" material regarding me (the narrator), etc.
The new video-PPT is called "Intelligence Testing in Proper Perspective: The Big Picture"
This presentation places the power and value of intelligence testing into a big picture perspective which recognizes the strengths and limitations of intelligence testing. The goal is to encourage users and consumers of intelligence tests to better understand what these measures can and cannot do, and, more importantly, recognize the other personal and environmental characteristics that influence an individual's learning and development.
Be gentle. I am not a professional video producer and I do not have the time to edit out pauses, minor mistakes, etc.---- hey...this is FREE quality information. :)
Update 02-27-15. Thanks to Rueben Lopez for making the suggestion that I reduce the 3 minutes of the introductory "front matter." I have taken his advice (which I will incorporate into future videos) and have now posted the identical video with the very brief introduction. It can be accessed here.
