Abstract: Abstract Imagine that there is a very good (reliable, robust, sensitive, valid) test of a person’s real ability: the ability to learn a language or play a musical instrument, or learn a new complex computer program ’ or whatever. Then consider giving the test to many thousands of people from all backgrounds.
