G factor in non-humans
The ''g'' factor, or general factor, of intelligence is a psychometric construct that summarizes the correlations observed between an individual’s scores on various measures of cognitive abilities. First described in humans, the ''g'' factor has since been identified in a number of non-human species.〔Reader, S. M., Hager, Y., & Laland, K. N. (2011). The evolution of primate general and cultural intelligence. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 366(1567), 1017-1027.〕
There is a wide range between species in the amount of variance explained by ''g'', suggesting that they may be differentially reliant on a general factor. The exact reasons for this are not entirely clear but it is thought that this may be related to life history traits and the evolution of intelligence.〔Rushton, J. P. (2004). Placing intelligence into an evolutionary framework or how ''g'' fits into the r–K matrix of life-history traits including longevity.Intelligence, 32(4), 321-328.〕 Non-human models of ''g'' have been used in genetic〔Plomin, R. (2001). The genetics of ''g'' in human and mouse. Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2(2), 136-141.〕 and neurological〔Anderson, B. (2000). The ''g'' factor in non-human animals. The nature of intelligence, (285), 79.〕 research on intelligence to help understand the mechanisms behind variation in ''g''.
==Methods==
The vast majority of measures of differences in ''g'' in humans, any of a wide range of IQ tests, are heavily reliant on language and verbal ability. They are therefore largely impossible to apply unmodified to non-human animals. Several alternative measures have been developed specifically to measure IQ in non-humans.
