This is usually what happens when you try to tease out another skill or separate "intelligence" from the general factor, it ends up being correlated in the end.

- bbor 2y agoSuper interesting maxim, thanks for sharing! Of course that’s part of it, but given the spatially distributed nature of the relevant networks (ie we could maybe constrain some of these Piagetian abilities to one hemisphere or lobe of the cortex, at best) I think there’s more at play than adjacency. I’m personally confident that the four faculties of the brain are each involved in reinforcing the others, and I think that provides a compelling causal mechanism correlating the development of one with increased performance among the others. For example, consider the Metaconscious gradually tweaking a baby’s Unconscious visual networks to improve their sight, and the increase in information input eventually bubbles up to develop the Metaconscious in turn.
