The stability of cognitive abilities

Sozio-emotionales Erleben von Schule bei Grundschülerinnen und -schülern
Leistungsstarke Schülerinnen und Schüler erleben Schule zumeist positiver als leistungsschwächere, während für Schülerinnen und Schüler mit unterschiedlicher intellektueller Begabung die Befundlage nicht eindeutig ist. In dieser Studie wurde das sozio-emotionale Erleben von Schule über die vier Dimensionen Klassenklima, Schuleinstellung, soziale Integration und Gefühl des Angenommen Seins durch die Lehrperson betrachtet. Es wurde untersucht, ob s…

A research-practice cooperation to support elementary school teachers’ diagnostic competencies based on a working theory of talent development in STEM
We present a teacher professionalization project for promoting elementary school teachers’ diagnostic competencies in recognizing their students’ potential in STEM subjects. Teacher professionalization is fostered through the teachers’ personal involvement in the development of subject-specific diagnostic materials as well as through continuing training on the fundamental knowledge needed to detect and support gifted students. On the basis of the…
Age and ability differentiation in children
1.2, range 6-12 years) of the THINK 1-4 intelligence test to investigate ability differentiation, developmental differentiation, and their interaction. The sample was nationally representative regarding age, gender, urbanization, and geographic location of residence but not regarding parents' education and migration background (overrepresentation of children with more educated parents, underrepresentation of children with migration background). T…

Incremental validity of specific cognitive abilities beyond general intelligence for the explanation of students’ school achievement
The incremental validity of specific cognitive abilities beyond general intelligence has been investigated in studies using hierarchical multiple regression analyzes (HMR). In the present study, we investigated whether the incremental validity of specific cognitive abilities (i.e., verbal, figural, and numerical ability) for the explanation of school grades varied as a function of students’ general ability level. Data comprised the standardizatio…
General intelligence and specific cognitive abilities in adolescence
Differentiation of intelligence refers to changes in the structure of intelligence that depend on individuals' level of general cognitive ability (ability differentiation hypothesis) or age (developmental differentiation hypothesis). The present article aimed to investigate ability differentiation, developmental differentiation, and their interaction with nonlinear factor analytic models in 2 studies. Study 1 was comprised of a nationally represe…
Pet Loss and Grief
Pet owners often experience complex and profound grief reactions when their animals are euthanized. Veterinary staff are increasingly being called upon to be aware of and to respond to the grief reactions of pet owners at this critical time. The objectives of this study were to identify pet owners who are most at risk of grief and to suggest veterinary interventions during the euthanasia process. A convenience sample of 409 pet owners whose anima…
