An all-positive correlation matrix is not evidence of domain-general intelligence

Rosalind Arden et al. Behav Brain Sci. 2017 Jan.

Abstract

We welcome the cross-disciplinary approach taken by Burkart et al. to probe the evolution of intelligence. We note several concerns: the uses of g and G, rank-ordering species on cognitive ability, and the meaning of general intelligence. This subject demands insights from several fields, and we look forward to cross-disciplinary collaborations.
