Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Note that correlation Scarr et al. found was 0.05/0.086 = 58% of correlation we found.

    “Note that the correlation Scarr et al. [52] found was 0.05/0.086= 58% of the correlation we found.”

  • As Loehlin seems to have implied, association between admixture and ability in Scarr et al. sample comported with typical weak form of Spearman's hypothesis in that European ancestry was positively related (r = 0.1) with Raven's Progressive Matrices scores and negatively related (r = -0.12) with a memory measure.

  • Thus, our study largely vindicates Jensen's reanalysis of Scarr et al. data.

    “Thus, our study largely vindicates Jensen's [104] reanalysis of the Scarr et al. [52] data.”

    From Global Ancestry and Cognitive Ability (2019) · cites this paper as [52]

  • Our data are compatible with a between-group heritability (variance explained by European ancestry) of between 50% and 70% depending on model chosen.

    “Our data are compatible with a between-group heritability (variance explained by European ancestry) of between 50% and 70% depending on the model chosen (see Scarr et al.,p. 85 [52]).”

  • Finding of Jensen effect on ancestry is consistent with results presented by Scarr et al.

    “The finding of a Jensen effect on ancestry is also consistent with the results presented by Scarr et al. [52].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
