The discussion of g reminded me of the International Neuropsychological
Society presidential address of Muriel Lezak. Neuropsychologists and
many others who use IQ tests every day recognized that the tests were
measuring a variety of independent cognitive abilities. The average
performance did not capture the lost and retained abilities of people
who sustain brain illness and injuries. Unfortunately, the largely
meaningless summary scores are still reified.
