Recent reports of training-induced gains on fluid intelligence tests have fueled an explosion
of interest in cognitive training—now a billion-dollar industry. The interpretation of these …

Fluid intelligence (Gf) refers to the ability to reason and to solve new problems
independently of previously acquired knowledge. Gf is critical for a wide variety of cognitive …

Although a large body of research shows that general cognitive ability is heritable and stable
in young adults, there is recent evidence that fluid intelligence can be heightened with …

Short-term adaptive cognitive training based on the n-back task is reported to increase
scores on individual ability tests, but the key question of whether such increases generalize …

Improving fluid intelligence is an enduring research aim in the psychological and brain
sciences that has motivated public interest and scientific scrutiny. At issue is the efficacy of …

Comments on an article by Jaeggi et al.(2008). Authors reported modest increases in
performance on a test of fluid intelligence following several days of training on a task of …

Although some studies have shown that cognitive training can produce improvements to
untrained cognitive domains (far transfer), many others fail to show these effects, especially …

We used an individual-differences approach to test whether general fluid intelligence (gF) is
mediated by brain regions that support attentional (executive) control, including subregions …

Two studies were carried out to investigate the relationship between performances on two
experimental tasks—Triplet Numbers and Swaps—and measures of fluid intelligence (Gf) …

To make deliberate progress towards more intelligent and more human-like artificial
systems, we need to be following an appropriate feedback signal: we need to be able to …
