A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF COGNITIVE ABILITY TILT

Cognitive ability tilt refers to individual differences in the relative strength of specific cognitive abilities, such as mathematical, spatial, verbal, and so forth. This has potential implications for individuals’ educational and occupational success, but has only recently attracted attention after decades of focus on general intelligence and full scale IQ. The current research is fragmented due to inconsistent terminology in earlier publications. Here, I conduct a systematic review of cognitive ability tilt research, with the aim of gathering and synthesizing the existing body of publications. I found 36 relevant publications, half of which focused on math and verbal ability. Several other varieties of ability tilt were identified and categorized. The significance of this research was discussed.
