Neural mechanisms of interference control underlie the relationship between fluid intelligence and working memory span.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: General Neural Mechanisms of Interference Control Underlie the Relationship Between Fluid Intelligence and Working Memory Span

Running head: WORKING MEMORY AND FLUID INTELLIGENCE

The present study investigates how working memory and fluid intelligence are related in young children and how these links develop over time. The major aim is to determine which aspect of the working memory system – short-term storage or cognitive control drives the relationship with fluid intelligence. A sample of 119 children was followed from kindergarten to second grade and completed multip...

The role of divided attention and working memory in mathematical reasoning with the mediation of mathematical knowledge and fluid intelligence in fourth grade elementary students

The purpose of the research is modeling the relationship between divided attention and working memory in mathematical reasoning with the mediation of mathematical knowledge and fluid intelligence in fourth grade elementary students. Statistical population of the research included all fourth grade male students of Primary schools in District 4 of Qom from which 213 students were randomly selecte...

Do working memory and susceptibility to interference predict individual differences in fluid intelligence?

In the current study we examined the relationship between working memory capacity, inhibition/susceptibility to interference and fluid intelligence, measured by the Raven's Progressive Matrices (PM38), comparing groups of young (aged 18±35), young-old (aged 65±74), and old-old (aged 75±86) participants. Groups were administered two working memory tasks tapping into different mechanisms involved...

The relationship between second language acquisition and mathematics accomplishment among second graders

Introduction: Study of bilingualism will enhance the understanding of the cognitive and neural mechanisms responsible for learning. Cognitive correlates of bilingualism such as enhancement of attention control, problem solving and working memory would be worth studying especially among young children to improve their future performances. Among the wide range of advantages of bilingualism, worki...
