Cover Story: Empirical evidence suggests the existence of a strongly positive association between measures of fluid intelligence and working memory capacity. However, as the evidence so far obtained rests on a correlational approach, a causal relationship between fluid intelligence and working memory has not yet been established. The aim of the present study was therefore to provide an experimental analysis of this relationship. A total of 60 participants worked on items of the advanced progressive matrices (APM) while simultaneously engaging in one of four secondary tasks in order to load specific components of the working memory system. There was a diminishing effect of the experimental manipulation on the APM performance, which could explain 15% of the variance in the APM scores. This finding suggests a causal effect of working memory functioning on fluid intelligence test performance. View this paper

The present study investigates how the quality of knowledge representations contributes to rule transfer in a problem-solving context and how working memory capacity (WMC) might contribute to the subsequent failure or success in transferring the rele...

The standard interpretation of cognitive reflection tests assumes that correct responses are reflective and lured responses are unreflective. However, prior process-tracing of mathematical reflection tests has cast doubt on this interpretation. In tw...

Figural matrices tests are among the most popular and well-investigated tests used to assess inductive reasoning abilities. Solving these tests requires the selection of a target that completes a figural matrix among distractors. Despite their genera...

Cognitive ability of adolescents is often measured using the Raven’s Standard Progressive Matrices (RSPM). However, the RSPM knows a long administration time which may be suboptimal, as time-on-task effects are known to increase fatigue, to low...

Lying is essential to social communication. Despite years of research, its detection still poses many challenges. This is partly because some individuals are perceived as truthful and reliable, even when lying. However, relatively little is known abo...

The task-switching paradigm is deemed a measure of cognitive flexibility. Previous research has demonstrated that individual differences in task-switch costs are moderately inversely related to cognitive ability. However, current theories emphasize m...
