      Cycles in speed-working memory-G relations: Towards a developmental-differential theory of the mind 

      Demetriou, Andreas P.; Spanoudis,George C.; Shayer, Michael; Mouyi, Antigoni; Kazi, Smaragda; Platsidou, M. (2013)
      This article presents three studies, two of them longitudinal, which investigated the relations between age, processing speed, working memory (WM), and fluid intelligence (g f) from 4 to 16years of age. Structural equation ...

      Developmental Differentiation and Binding of Mental Processes with g through the Life-Span 

      Demetriou, Andreas P.; Spanoudis,George C.; Kazi, Smaragda; Mouyi, Antigoni; Mislav Stjepan Žebec; Kazali, Elena; Golino, Hudson; Bakracevic, Karin; Shayer, Michael (MDPI AG, 2017)
      Integration/differentiation of mental processes is major mechanism of development. Developmental theories ascribe intellectual development to it. In psychometric theory, Spearman’s law of diminishing returns postulates ...

      Developmental intelligence: From empirical to hidden constructs 

      Demetriou, Andreas P.; Spanoudis,George C.; Shayer, Michael (2013)
      This article answers some of the criticisms and suggestions of the three commentaries. We showed, in agreement with Coyle, that (i) variability is indeed distinct from speed, (ii) they both additively reflect processing ...

      Educating the Developing Mind: Towards an Overarching Paradigm 

      Demetriou, Andreas P.; Spanoudis,George C.; Mouyi, Antigoni (2011)
      This essay first summarizes an overarching theory of cognitive organization and development. This theory claims that the human mind involves (1) several specialized structural systems dealing with different domains of ...

      Have All Children Benefited? A Perspective on Curriculum Initiatives and Low Achievers 

      Gray, Eddie M.; Howat, Hazel; Pitta-Pantazi, Demetra (2002)
      This paper considers whether or not curriculum initiatives within England are in fact leading to qualitatively improved levels of thinking among children identified as lower achievers in arithmetic. Revisiting data from ...

      Inference, reconceptualization, sight, and efficiency along intellectual growth: A general theory 

      Demetriou, Andreas P.; Spanoudis,George C.; Shayer, Michael (2014)
      This article summarizes a comprehensive theory of intellectual organization and growth. The theory specifies a common core of processes (Abstraction, representational Alignment, and Cognizance, i.e., AACog) underlying ...

      Mind-culture interactions: How writing molds mental fluidity in early development 

      Kazi, Smaragda; Demetriou, Andreas P.; Spanoudis,George C.; Zhang, X. K.; Wang, Y. (2012)
      This study investigated intellectual development in 4-7. years old Greek and Chinese children. They were examined on speeded performance, working memory, reasoning, and self-awareness tasks in order to investigate possible ...

      Process analysis of planning in Grade 4 and Grade 8 students 

      Parrila, Rauno K.; Papadopoulos, Timothy C.; Mulcahy, Robert F. (1997)
      Studied how children solved a complex and knowledge-lean Crack-the-Code task using both product (accuracy and performance time) and protocol data (think aloud protocols). Participants were 8 children from 2 different grade ...

      Relations between speed, working memory, and intelligence from preschool to adulthood: Structural equation modeling of 14 studies 

      Demetriou, Andreas P.; Spanoudis,George C.; Shayer, Michael; Van, der Ven; Brydges, C. R.; Kroesbergen, E.; Podjarny, G.; Swanson, H. L. (2014)
      We posit that fluid intelligence (Gf) develops in four cycles, with two phases in each cycle, each distinctly connected with changes in processing speed and working memory. New representational units emerge in the first ...
