In Search of the Executive Cognitive Processes Proposed by Process-Overlap Theory

open access: yesJournal of Intelligence, 2021
Process-Overlap Theory (POT) suggests that measures of cognitive abilities sample from sets of independent cognitive processes. These cognitive processes can be separated into domain-general executive processes, sampled by the majority of cognitive ...

Domain-general ability underlies complex object ensemble processing.

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2022
When seeing groups of objects, various features can be extracted to form an ensemble representation, including low-level features such as orientation and higher-level features like facial expression. Past research proposed distinct abilities for ensemble coding of high-level versus low-level visual features, but the only complex objects used were faces.

Examining the relevance of basic numerical skills for mathematical achievement in secondary school using a within-task assessment approach

open access: yesActa Psychologica, 2021
Previous research repeatedly found basic numerical abilities (e.g., magnitude understanding, arithmetic fact knowledge, etc.) to predict young students' current and later arithmetic achievement as assessed by achievement tests – even when controlling for

Scientific Reasoning in Biology – the Impact of Domain-General and Domain-Specific Concepts on Children’s Observation Competency

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2020
Research on the development of scientific reasoning has put the main focus on children’s experimentation skills, in particular on the control-of-variables strategy. However, there are more scientific methods than just experimentation.

The domain-specific and domain-general relationships of visuospatial working memory to reasoning ability [PDF]

open access: yesPsychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2016
The degree to which visuospatial working memory (VSWM) is separable from working memory in general is an open question. On one hand, the construct is often researched as a unitary, domain-specific system. On the other, there is evidence that VWSM shares a common processing component with verbal memory.

Metacognitive judgment and denial of deficit: Evidence from frontotemporal dementia

open access: yesJudgment and Decision Making, 2007
Patients suffering from the behavioral variant of Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD-b) often exaggerate their abilities. Are those errors in judgment limited to domains in which patients under-perform, or do FTD-b patients overestimate their abilities in ...

The Effect of Developers’ General Intelligence on the Understandability of Domain Models: An Empirical Study

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2023
Software engineering has traditionally focused on the semantic and notational aspects of domain model understandability, overlooking the cognitive factors involved in this process.
