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 …

Development of matrices abstract reasoning items to assess fluid intelligence
… most popular types of tests to measure general intelligence. This thesis introduces several methods to develop matrices items, and presents them in different test forms to assess general intelligence. Part 1 introduces the development of a matrices test with reference to Carpenter’s five rules …

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 …

Predicting performance on fluid intelligence from speed of processing, working memory, and controlled attention
Fluid inteliigence has been defined as an innate ability to reason which is measured commonly by the Raven's Progressive Matrices (RPM). Individual differences in fluid intelligence are currently explained by the Cascade model (Fry & Hale, 1996) and the Controlled Attention hypothesis (Engle, Kane, …

Training working memory and fluid intelligence in older adults: developing measures and exploring outcomes
… with a focus on training working memory and fluid intelligence. A series of studies is reported, with two broad aims. The first was to develop and validate outcome measures appropriate for use in this population, and the second was to examine whether established gains in cognitive functioning …

The Role of the Multiple-Demand System in Fluid Intelligence and Selective Attention: Insights from Lesion and Neuroimaging Studies
… purposeful behaviour, focussing on its role in fluid intelligence and selective attention. Across three empirical studies, I draw on evidence from patients with focal brain lesions and healthy adults using neuropsychology, functional neuroimaging (functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and …

One Step Closer to Greater Understanding! Does a Correlation Exist Between Fluid Intelligence and Player Rank in League of Legends?
… ability domains, such as working memory, fluid intelligence, visuospatial ability, and executive functions. This study was designed to bring some attention to whether competitive video games, like the strategy game <em>League of Legends </em>(<em>LoL</em>),<em> </em>are correlated with …

Relations Between Factors of Intelligence and Multiple Components of Executive Functioning in an Undergraduate Sample
Intelligence and executive functioning are multidimensional, related constructs (Decker, Dean, & Hill, 2007; Miyake, Friedman, Emerson, Witzki, & Howerter, 2000). Research suggests that fluid intelligence and certain components of executive functioning are related, with an emphasis in the …

Moderation of age-related cognitive decline in older adults
… in cognitive performance with age, especially in Fluid Intelligence. This study sought to find a way to slow, halt, or reverse the age-related decline in Fluid Intelligence. Participants aged 50 and older with no prior experience working crossword puzzles worked crossword puzzles for 4 hours per …

Individual Differences Contribute to Emotion Regulation via Visual Attention Deployment
… emotion regulation following negative feedback. Fluid intelligence, working memory capacity, trait anxiety, self-esteem, and behavioral activation system/Behavioral activation system sensitivity were found to have differential patterns predicting reactivity to negative feedback, gaze behavior …

Social jetlag and global sleep quality predict worse grades in first-year STEM students.
… been cross-sectional and has not accounted for fluid intelligence or baseline mental health, thereby limiting understanding of causal direction. First year college students (N=489, Mage=18.3; 72.2% female; 53.8% BIPOC) were recruited to complete a baseline assessment that included measures of …

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 …

Retinal mophology and intelligence
… whole-body adiposity (%Fat). The Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test-2 was used to assess general intelligence (IQ), fluid, and crystallized intelligence. Hierarchical linear regression analyses were performed to examine relationships between adiposity and intelligence measures following adjustment …

Examining component processes of performance on the Tower of London
… contributions of working memory, inhibition, and fluid intelligence to performance on the TOL. It was found that although working memory and inhibition did not significantly contribute to TOL performance, fluid intelligence did account for a significant amount of variance. In contrast, Experiment …

The three stratum theory of cognitive abilities: test of the structure of intelligence across the life span
Recently a three stratum theory of intelligence that combines the major aspects of Spearman~s theory of general intelligence (g) (1927) and Horn and Cattell's theory of crystallized and fluid intelligence (Gf-Gc) (1991) has been proposed (Carroll, 1993). The purpose of this study was to test the …

Cognitive ability and computer simulation
… selection; however, a factor of GMA known as Fluid Intelligence (Gf) should represent a more equitable assessment construct. Computer simulations appear to offer some beneficial attributes for selection purposes, but potential negative effects of GMA assessment may carry over to the new …
