Process overlap theory: A unified account of the general factor of intelligence
K Kovacs, ARA Conway - Psychological Inquiry, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
The most replicated result in the field of intelligence is the positive manifold, which refers to

No evidence of intelligence improvement after working memory training: a randomized, placebo-controlled study.
Numerous recent studies seem to provide evidence for the general intellectual benefits of
working memory training. In reviews of the training literature, Shipstead, Redick, and Engle …

Why do ideas get more creative across time? An executive interpretation of the serial order effect in divergent thinking tasks.
The serial order effect—the tendency for later responses to a divergent thinking task to be
better than earlier ones—is one of the oldest and most robust findings in modern creativity …

Global connectivity of prefrontal cortex predicts cognitive control and intelligence
Control of thought and behavior is fundamental to human intelligence. Evidence suggests a
frontoparietal brain network implements such cognitive control across diverse contexts. We …
