2 Literature Review
2.1 A Brief Introduction to CHC Theory
CHC theory has been recognized as the consensus models which are based on psychometry for understanding different structures of human intelligence. CHC theory is pided into two models: the Cattell–Horn Gf–Gc and Carroll Three-Stratum. Although the two models differ in many ways, the deep correspondence between the two models has resulted in the increased use of a broad umbrella term for a synthesis of the two models (Cattell–Horn–Carroll theory of cognitive abilities—CHC theory) (McGrew, 2005:9). CHC theory provides a means by which we can understand the relationships between cognitive abilities and academic achievement, an important component of learning disabilities identification and instructional planning (McGrew, 2010:7-8). According to McGrew (2010:4), the Cattell–Horn–Carroll (CHC) taxonomy of cognitive abilities is the consensus framework from which cognitive abilities are currently most often conceptualized and measured and help more people realize that cognitive ability testing practices need to be more purpose driven, selective and flexible.

2.1.1 Three Strata of CHC theory
John Carroll (1993:35) firstly pointed out the three strata of CHC theory by reviewing and reanalyzing the world's literature on inpidual differences in cognitive abilities. The three strata are shown in Figure 1 (Tian Chuang, Zhao Wei, 2008:48). CHC理论中的长时记忆搜索能力在中文菜名翻译中的应用(2):http://www.751com.cn/yingyu/lunwen_17760.html
