The g-factor refers to

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Motivation for this question is to distinguish what the g-factor represents from related but distinct concepts.
Option 1: 'the ability to understand and regulate emotions.' This describes emotional intelligence, which is about processing emotions in oneself and others, not the general cognitive factor known as g.
Option 2: 'the genetic contribution to intelligence.' While genetics influence intelligence, the g-factor refers to a cognitive ability construct that spans tasks, not specifically to its heritability measure; this option confuses aetiology with the cognitive construct itself.
Option 3: 'a highly developed skill or talent possessed by a person with an intellectual disability disorder.' This mischaracterizes g entirely, wrongly tying it to a skilled profile within a disability context rather than a broad, general cognitive ability.
Option 4: 'a general intelligence that underlies successful performance on a wide variety of tasks.' This statement matches the classic definition of g (general intelligence), capturing the idea that a common underlying factor supports performance across diverse cognitive tasks.
