Excerpt from Individual Differences in Ability and Improvement and Their Correlations
The statistical side of this study has been undertaken with a view to obtaining evidence on some of the questions which are the most pressing in the subject of individual differences. It is obvious that the experimental determination of the efficiencies of the same individual in various tests is a problem of wide theoretical interest as well as of educational importance. This measurement of efficiencies has received considerable attention, but the lack of a definite answer to such a fundamental question as the following, indicates the large field of investigation which is still open. This question in its broadest aspect may be stated. Is there any such thing in mental achievement as general improvability? Does it follow that the individual who gains rapidly in one measured trait will also gain with corresponding rapidity in all similar traits? Only from a very limited study of Wimms ('07) can any answer to this question be given. It is one of the objects of this study to throw light on this problem of general improvability.
The scope of the paper is indicated by the range of subjects which will be investigated in the following order:
1. The nature of composite and practise curves.
2. The correlation between initial abilities in various functions.
3. The correlation between initial and final abilities in various functions.
4. The correlation between improvability in one function and improvability in other functions.
5. The correlation between initial ability and improvability in each function.
6. The correlation between efficiency and accuracy in each function.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the nature of individual differences in human ability as well as how those abilities might improve with practice. The author conducted a study with twenty-two subjects who were measured on a battery of tasks that ranged from color naming to mental multiplication. Over six weeks, the tasks were repeated with each subject, allowing the researcher to determine not only the initial ability of each individual, but also their ability to improve. The results of the study were surprising: high initial ability did not necessarily preclude great improvement. The ability to complete certain cognitive tasks was found to be unique to the task, not necessarily correlating to the ability to complete other, similar tasks. In fact, power of improvement was not found to correlate strongly with any other ability. This challenges the idea that an individual with a high IQ, as measured by a typical intelligence test, would also display high ability in all other cognitive tasks. The research suggests that human cognition is much more specialized and complex. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
