Flanagan et al. (2006) presented their
conclusions in a single summary table (Table 2.14 of Flanagan et
al., 2006). The broad Gc domain, and the narrow Gc abilities of
language development (LD), lexical knowledge (VL), and listening
ability (LS) were designated as related to both reading and math.
The cognitive efficiency broad domains of Gs and Gsm were also
implicated for reading and math, specifically the narrow abilities
of perceptual speed (Gs-P), memory span (Gsm-MS), and working
memory (Gsm- MW). Gf, as well as the narrow abilities
of induction (I) and general sequential reasoning (RG), are also
listed as related to both reading and math (with a greater
relevance for math noted). In reading, Flanagan et al. (2006)
suggest that Gf is primarily related to reading comprehension and
not basic reading skills. Finally, reading-specific broad and
narrow ability relations listed by Flanagan et al. (2006) include
Ga (“phonological awareness processing” or phonetic
coding—PC) and Glr (“rapid automatic naming” or
naming facility—NA; associative memory—MA). Gv was
noted as not displaying any significant relations with reading and
math achievement in the studies reviewed, although Flanagan et al.
(2006) suggest that Gv abilities “may be important primarily
for higher level or advanced mathematics (e.g., geometry,
calculus)” (p. 45).
Although Flanagan et al. (2006) mention possible
developmental (age)-related findings (e.g., Gc “abilities
become increasingly more important with age”; phonetic coding
and naming facility are “very important during the elementary
school years”, p. 45), their developmental comments are
general and lack specific age- differentiated information. Finally,
Flanagan et al. (2006) mention possible non- CHC abilities that
research suggests are related to school achievement. These include
orthographic processing and morphological knowledge in
reading.
