Augmenting intelligence: Developmental limits to learning-based cognitive change
Papageorgiou, Eleni; Christou, Constantinos; Spanoudis,George C.; Demetriou, Andreas P. (2016)We investigated if learning relational reasoning in mathematics generalizes to other domains and general intelligence, including speed, attention control, and working memory. A total of 118 10-year olds were involved, ...

Behind the scenes of pseudo-proportionality
Modestou, Modestina; Elia, Iliada; Gagatsis, Athanasios; Spanoudis,George C. (2008)In this study, we attempt to put in question students' spontaneous and uncritical application of the simple and neat mathematical formula of linearity. This is impelled with the help of a written test involving geometrical ...

Cognitive correlates of developing intelligence: The contribution of working memory, processing speed and attention
Tourva, A.; Spanoudis,George C.; Demetriou, Andreas P. (2016)The present study examined the relations of general, fluid and crystallized intelligence with three cognitive functions - speed of processing, attention and working memory (WM) - in 158 7- to 18-year-old children and ...

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 ...

Developing intelligence: Is a comprehensive theory possible?
Demetriou, Andreas P.; Spanoudis,George C.; Shayer, Michael (2013)This introduction first outlines the main issues and questions about mind and intelligence that need to be dealt with by disciplines such as differential, developmental, and cognitive, psychology. It then summarizes the ...

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 ...

The dimensionality of phonological abilities in Greek
Papadopoulos, Timothy C.; Spanoudis,George C.; Kendeou, Panayiota (2009)The purpose of the present study was twofold: (a) to examine the unidimensionality of phonological abilities in Greek, a language with a transparent orthography, and (b) to compute the reliabilities and test the construct ...

Domain specificity in creativity testing: A comparison of performance on a general divergent-thinking test and a parallel, content-specific test
Diakidoy, Irene-Anna N.; Spanoudis,George C. (2002)The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which domain-specific components, such as content and type of task, influence divergent thinking and creativity by comparing the performance of 112 ninth-grade students ...

Early language delay phenotypes and correlation with later linguistic abilities
Petinou, K.; Spanoudis,George C. (2014)Objectives: The present study focused on examining the continuity and directionality of language skills in late talkers (LTs) and identifying factors which might contribute to language outcomes at the age of 3 years. ...

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 ...

Embedding cognizance in intellectual development
Spanoudis,George C.; Demetriou, Andreas P.; Kazi, Smaragda; Giorgala, K.; Zenonos, V. (2015)This study examined whether cognizance of cognitive processes (i.e., awareness of the perceptual and inferential origins of knowledge) mediates between basic processing efficiency functions (i.e., processing speed, attention ...
