Development of Speed, Memory, and Fluid Reasoning in Children
… and higher-order cognitive abilities such as fluid reasoning improve with age, but the relationships between these abilities are not well understood. The developmental cascade model proposed by Fry and Hale: 1996) suggests that age related improvements in speed of processing are related to …

Word Counts in Response to Cognitively Demanding Essay Prompts as Reflections of General Cognitive Ability and Broad Cognitive Abilities
… directions. Latent short-term memory and latent fluid reasoning were weakly related or unrelated to the LIWC word count categories observed. Word counting approaches to natural language processing may partially express GCA and latent verbal ability, but not latent short-term memory and latent …

Effortful Emotion Regulation Strategy Use and Cognition: An Individual Differences Approach
… crystallized intelligence, working memory, fluid reasoning, and rational thinking). It was predicted that younger adults would outperform older adults on processing speed tasks, and that effortful emotion regulation would generally impair subsequent cognitive ability (i.e., processing …

The Relationship Between the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fourth Edition and the Woodcock-Johnson III Tests of Cognitive Abilities in a Clinically Referred Pediatric Population
… functioning, comprehension-knowledge, fluid reasoning, working memory, and processing speed. For correlations between divergent constructs, the WISC-IV Verbal Comprehension Index and the WJ III COG Visual-Spatial Thinking (Gv) factor demonstrated a large correlation. Both the WISC-IV …

The Influence of Advanced Cognitive Ability on the Development of Psychological Defenses and in Understanding and Managing Affect: A Study of Latency-aged Gifted Students
… measures assessing their crystallized and fluid reasoning ability, their EI <em>emotion management </em>and <em>emotional understanding abilities</em>, and their use of Denial, Projection and Identification using responses from the Thematic Apperception Test and Cramer's (1991) Defense …

A comparison of confirmatory factor analysis and task analysis of fluid intelligence cognitive subtests
… school students (N = 63) completed six target fluid reasoning subtests that were subjected to confirmatory factor analyses to analysis subtest similarities. Second, school psychology practitioners (N = 32) sorted subtest descriptions into similarity groups. Their judgments were analyzed with …

Understanding how deficits in sub- and higher- order cognitive processes impact problem-solving abilities in childhood
Fluid Intelligence describes the ability to solve complex problems under novel conditions and predicts success in a wide range of areas. The overarching aim of this thesis was to explore the cognitive processes necessary for the completion of complex cognitive tasks in children with and without …

Longitudinal Change In Regional Cortices And Fluid Intelligence
<p>Fluid intelligence (Gf) and crystalized intelligence (Gc) are two factors of the general intelligence. They have distinct age-related trajectories of change. Jung and Haier proposed Parieto-Frontal Integration Theory (P-FIT, 2007) to account for the inter-person variance in reasoning …

Social influences on children's learning
… 5 I demonstrate that the neural correlates of fluid reasoning differ by SES, suggesting that positive brain development varies by early life environment. Collectively, this work elucidates both the malleable social factors that positively impact children's learning and the unique neural and …

An analysis of psycho-educational profiles of elementary students referred for special education consideration due to literacy difficulties
… processing, working memory, long-term retrieval, fluid reasoning, executive processing, processing speed, and visual-motor integration. Decisional statistics were performed, and the results showed that working memory and long-term retrieval deficits were most prevalent. Participants’ mean academic …

Working memory training and transcranial electrical brain stimulation
… categories of task were linked to a separate fluid reasoning construct, providing evidence that both are valid measures of higher-order complex cognition. Overall, the experiments in this thesis suggest that working memory tasks tap into separate processes and that training may be targeting …

The Neuropsychological Application of the WAIS-IV over the WAIS-III
… measure of processing speed, working memory, and fluid reasoning, these goals were largely unmet. The analyses of the WAIS-IV working memory subtests, showed that the sequencing component added to the Digit Span subtest did not add to the relationship with neuropsychological measures with working …
