This paper presents the hypothesis that the general factor, g, which emerges from psychometric batteries and which has been equated with general intelligence, is the result of a physical brain feature which enhances neural network efficiency and is determined for the brain in general. This conception of intelligence provides a resolution of the unity-versus-modularity debate in the intelligence field and yields specific predictions as to the nature and kind of brain features that will be found to provide a physical explanation for g. To avoid nosological confusion, it is suggested that 'n' be used to represent the neurological concept of general intelligence while 'g' should continue to denote the general factor emerging from mathematical analyses of mental test batteries.
本文提出一个假说，即从心理测量组套中得出且被等同于一般智力的一般因素g，是一种增强神经网络效率且由大脑整体决定的物理大脑特征的结果。这种智力概念为智力领域中关于统一性与模块性的争论提供了一种解决方案，并就将被发现为g提供物理解释的大脑特征的性质和种类产生了具体预测。为避免疾病分类学上的混淆，建议用“n”来表示一般智力的神经学概念，而“g”应继续表示从心理测试组套的数学分析中得出的一般因素。
