Is Domain General

This statement parallels the primary argument for the existence of g in the intelligence literature.

Is domain general. This factor hereby referred to as domain general prosociality index accounted for 49 9 of the variance in the four decisions. Domain general learning theories of development suggest that humans are born with mechanisms in the brain that exist to support and guide learning on a broad level regardless of the type of information being learned. This differs from the standard view motivated by factor analysis that test performance reflects a single domain general ability and a single domain specific ability.

A domain general ability is our general intelligence used to due tasks cite this page. Domain general learning theories also recognize that although learning different types of new information may be processed in the same way and in the same areas of the brain different domains also function interdependently. As stated earlier a further claim of pot is that some tests are more dependent on domain general processes while other tests are more dependent on domain specific processes.

The cognitive ability that will influence performance over a wide range of tasks. We observed large inter individual differences in domain general prosociality fig. The domain general prosociality index varied from 1 78 to 1 88 m 0 sd 0 93.
