Ability tests, measuring how well one can do - predictors of poor school performance, ability tests, as SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test)
Computer modeling - dynamics of action and its reparameterization as cues
Experimental studies, examining - causal relationship between environmental manipulations and individual performance
Human eye and brain, superb pattern detectors - using graphical displays, than numeric tables to help detect strange relationships in data
Methodological advances in differential psychology - goal of methods in differential psychology, descriptive and testable explanations of phenomena
Narrative approaches to individual differences - popular, researchers collecting data for assessing how people make sense of their lives
Observational studies, inferring latent states - on basis of covariance of various measures at one time, or patterning of results across time
Self-report through use of questionnaires - projective instruments, or narratives
Sir Francis Galton, credited with theory of correlation coefficient - paper on "co-relations and their measurement"
Structural equation modeling (SEM) - combining basic regression techniques with factor analysis modeling of measurement of variables
