Extract

In the earlier papers of this series Stephenson has already reported an experiment in psychiatry, in which patients at Horton Mental Hospital have been tested by psychologists of the Spearman School of Factors.∗ The p-factor has been introduced and its contact with psychiatric material developed. The present paper serves to introduce the general factor in cognition (“g”), and to indicate the significance of measures of the g-factor for psychiatric research.
