Improving luid intelligence with training on working memory. Allows us to adapt our thinking to a new cogniive problem or situaion. Is robust against inluences of educaion and socializaion, and has a strong heredity component. No evidence that computer games increase anything beyond task-speciic performance and selecive visuo-spaial atenion. Transfer to other tasks or domains is rare. Fluid intelligence and working memory are primarily related through atenional and control processes. Both seem to rely on similar networks (lateral prefrontal and parietal corices) There is some potenial for transfer ater training on working memory. Engages execuive processes (inhibit irrelevant, monitor performance, manage 2 tasks, update representaions) Training may have improved ability to control atenion (important link between.
