Researchers have identified and mapped regions of the brain associated with fluid memory, or the human ability to solve problems without prior experience.
People who are competent at "near transfer", or skilled ability at similar games, are more likely to also have far transfer skills, meaning a greater ability to focus on daily living activities.
A review of 71 studies over 40 years aligns with the hypothesis that belief in the paranormal is associated with differences and deficits in cognitive function.
Combining deep learning technology with MRI brain scans, researchers were able to predict fluid intelligence in children.
An individual's level of general knowledge is associated with structural brain network connectivity. Fluid intelligence is best predicted by cortex volume in males, and by functional network connectivity in females.
Researchers report abstract reasoning in old age may be used to predict depressive symptoms over an extended period of time. The study found a correlation between a decline in abstract reasoning and a worsening of depressive symptoms in older people.
A new study reports microdosing psychedelics may enhance creative problem solving without risk of hallucinations, or trips, associated with taking high doses of the substances.
According to a new Journal of Alzheimer's Disease study, common genetic variants in amyloid precursor protein are associated with fluid intelligence in children.
Researchers add to evidence that omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids promote health brain aging.
Researchers reveal how brain structure and chemistry give rise to specific aspects of fluid intelligence.
According to researchers, healthy brain metabolism corresponds with fluid intelligence in young adults.
Researchers find even high performing schools don't influence students' abstract reasoning.
