G: general- single intellectual capacity that underlies the positive correlations among different tests of intelligence (do well on 1 test- can do well on others)
S: simple- aspects of performance that are particular to a given kind of processing |

innate, memory, spatial ability; ability to reason without relying heavily on previously learned knowledge
|
|
