Charles spearman developing techniques to calculate correlations among multiple measures of mental abilities. Factor analysis: is a statistical technique that examines correlations between variables to fi(cid:374)d (cid:272)lusters of related (cid:448)aria(cid:271)les, or (cid:862)fa(cid:272)tors(cid:863: ex.

Tony vernon western university intelligence score predicts how efficiently we conduct impulses along nerve fibres and across synapses: high iq brains show less overall brain activation than others for the same task.
