Fluid intelligence is related to capacity in memory as well as attention: Evidence from middle childhood and adulthood.

ABSTRACT: Human fluid intelligence emerges from the interactions of various cognitive processes. Although some classic models characterize intelligence as a unitary "general ability," many distinct lines of research have suggested that it is possible to at least partially decompose intelligence into a set of subsidiary cognitive functions. Much of this work has focused on the relationship between intelligence and working memory, and more specifically between intelligence and the capacity-loading aspects of working memory. These theories focus on domain-general processing capacity limitations, rather than limitations specifically linked to working memory tasks. Performance on other capacity-constrained tasks, even those that have typically been given the label of "attention tasks," may thus also be r
