The Model of Achievement Competence Motivation (MACM) Part E: Crossing the Rubicon Commitment Pathway Model to Learning

 

The Model of Achievement Competence Motivation (MACM) is a series of slide modules.  By clicking on the link you can view the slides at SlideShare.  This is the fifth and final (Part E) in the series.  This one is brief...only 11 slides.  Crossing the Rubicon Commitment Pathway Model to Learning.  There will be a total of five modules.  The modules will serve as supplemental materials to "The Model of Achievement Competence Motivation (MACM)--Standing on the shoulders of giants" (McGrew, in press, 2021 - in a forthcoming special issue on motivation in the Canadian Journal of School Psychology)



You should be able to access the prior modules (A-C) from the link above.

Cattell's Gf-->Gc investment hypothesis--a visual-graphic explanation

I have made a number of posts about Cattell's investment hypothesis at IQs Corner. All such posts, that include a post with a good defintion, can be found here. Recently Joel Schneider and I included a nice visual explanation of the investment hypothesis in our 2012 CHC chapter. The figure below is made by the master of visual-graphic explanations--Joel Scheider.

Out treatment of this topic can be found in Schneider & McGrew's (2012) chapter on contemporary CHC theory, a chapter in Flanagan and Harrisons book, Contemporary Intellectual Assessment.

Is Gc (as per CHC theory) a statistical concept or a real human capacity?

Thought provoking article "in press" in journal Intelligence.

The neural noise efficiency hypothesis: Processing efficiency, Gf, Gc and Gv model support

I just skimmed a brief and interesting article that adds to the continually expanding research that suggests that processing efficiency (Gsm-MW or working memory; Gs-processing speed) is highly related to fluid reasoning/intelligence (Gf), possibly in a causal manner. [Click here and here for definitions of the CHC abilities]

The research by Martinez and Colom (2009), in an adult sample of 265 (caution - generalization to children and adolescents needs independent study; esp. given the developmental cascade hypothesis), used the unique approach of statistically removing the Gf variance from their respective Gc (crystallized intelligence or comprehension knowledge) and Gv (visual-spatial ability) factor measures, and then finding that processing efficiency (Gs and Gsm-working memory) only predicted Gf and NOT Gc or Gv. This would also support the Gs-->Working Memory-->Gf model that has been previously tested, including by yours truley.

The authors interpret their findings as support for the "neural noise hypothesis regarding the biological base of cognitive functions such as working memory." The neural noise hypothesis is grounded in Jensen's neural osciillation model of intelligence. The authors concluded that "participants with higher levels of fluid intelligence show cognitive patterns reflecting less neural noise-oscillations and more processing efficiency and working memory capacity." Stated differently, the lower the "noisy" transmission among groups of neurons in the brain the greater the efficiency of efficient neural processing ...which results in better fluid intelligence (Gf), which in turn, via the "investment hypothesis", results in the development of other human abilities (Gc, Gv, etc.)
