摘要：

Acquisition of word meanings, or vocabulary,, reflects general mental ability (psychometric g) more than than do most abilities measured in test batteries. Among diverse subtests, vocabulary is especially high on indices of genetic influences. Bloom's exposition of the psychological complexities of understanding words, involving the primacy of concepts, the theory of-mind, and other processes, explains vocabulary's predominant g saturation.
