Educational Psychology’s Visiting Professor, Dr. Kevin McGrew, made an invited presentation at the Richard Woodcock Institute for Advancement of Cognitive Assessment at the University of Texas-Austin on October 25, 2014.

Contemporary Gf-Gc theory, which originates in the work of Cattell, Horn, and Carroll, and a series of activities from circa 1990 to 2005 resulted in what is now known as CHC theory (v1.0). In his presentation, Advances in CHC theory, Dr. McGrew summarized a recent fine-tuning of CHC theory (v2.0) by Schneider and McGrew (2012) and suggested additional refinements based on new exploratory and confirmatory structural research. Because no theory remains static, Dr. McGrew suggested ways of integrating advanced CHC theory with neuropsychological constructs and contemporary neurocognitive research as a means of gathering more meaningful subject data.
