An is a repository of general knowledge General knowledge has been defined in as 'culturally valued communicated by a range of non-specialist media' and encompassing a wide subject range. This definition excludes highly specialized learning that can only be obtained with extensive training and information confined to a single medium. General knowledge is an important component of and is strongly associated with, and with. Studies have found that people who are highly knowledgeable in a particular domain tend to be knowledgeable in many. General knowledge is thought to be supported by long-term ability. A number of studies have found that males tend to have greater general knowledge than females, perhaps due to gender differences in interests rather than memory ability.

Recent studies have found that general knowledge is associated with exam performance in schoolchildren and proofreading skills. Contents. Scope Differential psychology researchers define general knowledge as 'culturally valued knowledge communicated by a range of non-specialist media.' The scope of this definition includes all areas of knowledge available to laypersons without requiring extensive training. The definition excludes 'ephemera', or information confined to a single medium, such as television sitcoms. Researchers have identified 20 domains of knowledge that meet the above criteria. Discovery and exploration.

Researchers have acknowledged that other domains of general knowledge may exist. Factor analysis suggested that the 20 domains could be categorised into six factors: current affairs, fashion, family, physical health and recreation, arts, and science. All six of these factors were highly intercorrelated (i.e. People who scored high in a particular domain tended to score highly in most other domains) and were all related to a single higher-order general knowledge factor. The existence of a single general factor suggests that individual differences across a range of knowledge domains may have both common causes and specific influences; interest in a particular area and educational course content appear to be important contributors. Individual differences Intelligence High scorers on tests of general knowledge tend to also score highly on intelligence tests.

Has been found to robustly predict general knowledge scores even after accounting for differences in age, sex, and personality traits. In the of intelligence, general knowledge is considered a component of crystallized intelligence. Standardized IQ tests may therefore include measures of general knowledge, such as in the information subtest of the. General knowledge is also moderately associated with verbal ability, though only weakly or not at all with numerical and spatial ability. As with crystallized intelligence, general knowledge has been found to increase with age. Long-term semantic memory Research has found positive relationships between different domains of knowledge, suggesting that individuals who are highly knowledgeable in a particular domain usually have a good for factual information in general.

Due to the positive intercorrelations between knowledge domains, individual differences in general knowledge may reflect differences in ability to retrieve information from long-term. A general factor of long-term semantic memory could be explained by the existence of an underlying process responsible for retaining information in long-term memory.

Individual differences in the efficiency of such processes might explain why all domains of semantic memory appear to be intercorrelated. Personality People high in general knowledge tend to be highly and in. The relationship between openness to experience and general knowledge remains robust even when IQ is taken into account. People high in openness may be more motivated to engage in intellectual pursuits that increase their knowledge. Relationships between general knowledge and other traits tend to be weak and inconsistent.

Though one study found that and were negatively with general knowledge, others found that they were unrelated. Inconsistent results have also been found for. Differences Research has found that on average males tend to score higher than females on tests of overall general knowledge and in most domains of knowledge tested. Males also score higher than females on the information subtest of the and the, with small to medium. In a comparison between male and female university students in 19 domains of knowledge, males had greater knowledge in 14 domains, especially in and, but also in and. A general knowledge composite across all 19 tests showed a male advantage of medium effect size.

A study of university students in found that males scored higher in general knowledge than females, as well as in 12 of 19 specific knowledge domains. Females scored moderately higher than males in medicine and cookery.

The authors of this study suggested that this male advantage most likely reflects differences in interests rather than differences in verbal or memory ability. Similar results were found in a study of high school students. Male advantages in general knowledge are not attributable to differences between males and females in reasoning ability (i.e. ), or exposure to school course content.

Although males appear to have greater general knowledge, there is some evidence that females tend to have an advantage in 'autobiographical' knowledge, or memory of personal experiences. While general knowledge is supported by semantic memory, autobiographical knowledge is supported by, which is not tested in intelligence tests and tends to be difficult to measure because of the uniquely personal nature of such memories. Predictor of achievement A number of studies have assessed whether performance on a general knowledge test can predict achievement in particular areas, namely in academics, proofreading, and creativity. Academic achievement General knowledge has been found to predict exam results in a study of British schoolchildren. The study examined cognitive ability and personality predictors of exam performance and found that general knowledge was positively correlated with English, mathematics, and overall exam results. General knowledge test scores predicted exam results, even after controlling for IQ, five factor model personality traits, and learning styles.

Proofreading General knowledge has been found to robustly predict proofreading skills in university students. A study found that proofreading had a larger correlation with general knowledge than with general intelligence, verbal reasoning, or openness to experience. In a using general knowledge, general intelligence, verbal reasoning, five factor personality traits, and learning styles as predictors, only general knowledge was a significant predictor. Creativity General knowledge has been found to have weak associations with measures of creativity. In a study examining contributions of personality and intelligence to creativity, general knowledge was positively correlated with tests of, but was unrelated to a biographical measure of creative achievement, self-rated creativity, or a composite measure of creativity. The relationship between general knowledge and divergent thinking became non-significant when controlling for fluid intelligence. Game shows and quizzes Many use general knowledge questions.

Game shows such as and centre their questions on general knowledge, while others shows focus questions more on specific subjects. Some shows ask questions both on specific subjects and on general knowledge, including and. In Mastermind, contestants choose their own 'specialist subject' before answering general knowledge questions, whereas in Eggheads the subjects are chosen at random. ^ Lynn, Richard; Irwing, P.; Cammock, T.
