You are re-writing the past, and speculating on the future. The question was asked: is there a paper on the similarities/differences between accounts of intelligence based on IQ and Cognitive Development with an educational relevance? There is; and Shayer's 2008 paper fits the bill. For those who missed it, here it is again Shayer, M. (2008). Intelligence for education: As described by Piaget and measured by psychometrics. British Journal of Educational Psychology, 78, 1-29. Shayer's aim was to ascertain whether the the percentage of 16 year olds gaining a "good" pass in national examinations in Science here in the UK could be improved beyond 25-30%, a success rate that had been normal for many years. His intervention studies led to a clear Yes [circa 50%]. Is that not an educationally significant achievement? Quite how this outcome is interpreted in psychology, neuroscience or anywhere else is another story. If there are other papers, well and good; but that too is another story.
