Abstract
The Article This article presented evidence for empirical associations between specific units of language units (distinct from global verbal ability) and cognitive abilities. The authors provided a principal hypothesis that specific language units (precise words and phrases) might function as units of analysis for understanding individual differences in global cognitive abilities, including intelligence. The study revealed that productive use of specific language in persuasive essays predicted cognitive ability scores on the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT). A modest sum of particular words used (range: 0-7) correlated with cognitive factors almost as highly as the ability tests intercorrelated.
