General fluid intelligence
The phenomenon of general intelligence: intraindividual unity and interindividual diversity of intellectual abilities.
Intelligence is a strongest single predictor of life success (30%),
predictor of income (~180$/1IQ),
& strong determiner of cognitive processing.

Complex task – insight problems
Insight - AHA! phenomenon, sudden appearance of non-obvious solution.
„How to throw a ping-pong ball that it reverses and comes back to you without bouncing any surface or being tied up to anything?”

Factor studies of intelligence structure
Spearman – one general factor (g)
Cattell – fluid (Gf) vs. crystallized (Gc)
Thurstone, Guilford – many specific factors
Caroll – hierarchy of factors
Gf~g or even Gf=g

Biological basis of intelligence Brain size Number of neurons Number of synapses Myelination Size of prefrontal cortex Latency of evoked potentials Amplitude of evoked potentials Brain activity
Low correlations, complex interactions, difficult interpretation.

Working memory is…
…a theoretical construct that refers to mechanisms underlying the maintenance and processing of task-relevant information during the performance of a cognitive task.
…a center of cognition linking perception, long-term memory, decision-making, and response generation and evaluation.
![Page 11: Cognitive basis of general fluid intelligence Adam Chuderski Institute of Psychology Jagiellonian University, Cracow, Poland.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e985503460f94b9b933/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Working memory capacity measures
Task has to measure how much information is maintained in the context (during) information processing. Not just a short-term memory task.
Span tasks (reading/operation/digit span) Updating tasks (running memory, n-back) Spatial content short-term memory tasks
![Page 12: Cognitive basis of general fluid intelligence Adam Chuderski Institute of Psychology Jagiellonian University, Cracow, Poland.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e985503460f94b9b933/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Structural Equation Modeling
WMC and Gf are usually computed as latent variables - indirect measures (instead of direct scores in memory tasks and intelligence tests; manifest variables) reflecting common variance in manifest variables of the same construct.
Latent variables are believed to measure „pure” WMC or Gf cleaned from task-specific noise

Questions
Egg or chicken? Does Gf is a basis for WMC or it is WMC that determines Gf?
Is the link really so strong? Ackerman metaanalysis – 25% of common
variance Oberauer metaanalysis – 75% of common variance
Working memory or short term memory According to Ackerman – no difference According to Engle – big difference
![Page 16: Cognitive basis of general fluid intelligence Adam Chuderski Institute of Psychology Jagiellonian University, Cracow, Poland.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e985503460f94b9b933/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What process underlies WMC?
WMC is a statistical construct, difficult for cognitive interpretation.
Why one has high WMC. Because of:
• high processing speed (Jensen)
• efficient attentional control (Engle)
• capatious adjustable focus of attention (Cowan)
![Page 17: Cognitive basis of general fluid intelligence Adam Chuderski Institute of Psychology Jagiellonian University, Cracow, Poland.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e985503460f94b9b933/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Attentional (cognitive) control
Switching attention to proper content/processes, inhibiting interfering content, and monitoring, updating, and maintaining info in WM.
Significant differences in attentional control between high- and low-WMC subjects, e.g.:
-weak antisaccades of low-WMC Ss
-no coctail party effect of high-WMC Ss

Evidence for Gf-control link (Paulewicz et al., 2007)
![Page 19: Cognitive basis of general fluid intelligence Adam Chuderski Institute of Psychology Jagiellonian University, Cracow, Poland.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e985503460f94b9b933/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Evidence for adjustable attention hypothesis (n-back task)
![Page 20: Cognitive basis of general fluid intelligence Adam Chuderski Institute of Psychology Jagiellonian University, Cracow, Poland.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e985503460f94b9b933/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The need for computational models of individual differences in cognition
… the study of WMC-IQ correlations should be accompanied by computational modeling of the underlying cognitive processes, something that has been virtually completely absent to date. Of course, this call is tantamount to a call for the development of a complete computational process model of not just memory but also intelligence itself—clearly a big task whose completion time will be measured in decades, not years. Lest one think that this goal is too ambitious to be even considered at this moment in scientific history (Lewandowsky & Heit, 2006).
![Page 21: Cognitive basis of general fluid intelligence Adam Chuderski Institute of Psychology Jagiellonian University, Cracow, Poland.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e985503460f94b9b933/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Mathematical models
Oberauer and Kliegl’s (2001) model of WM impairment in aging.
Probability of retrieval = 1/(1+exp(-A–t)/s)
A – item activation dependent on:
resource, decay rate, maximum number of chunks, cross-talk, interference. Last one wins.
![Page 22: Cognitive basis of general fluid intelligence Adam Chuderski Institute of Psychology Jagiellonian University, Cracow, Poland.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e985503460f94b9b933/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Types of computational models of individual differences in cognition
symbolic vs. subsymbolic vs hybrid
of groups vs. of individuals
qualitative (structural) vs. quantitative (parametric)
![Page 23: Cognitive basis of general fluid intelligence Adam Chuderski Institute of Psychology Jagiellonian University, Cracow, Poland.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e985503460f94b9b933/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Examples of computational models of individual differences in cognition
Quantitative & group – FAIR/BETTERRAVEN model (3CAPS; Carpenter, Just & Shell, 1990)
Qualitative & group – CC Reader model (Just & Carpenter, 1992), clinical disorders
Qualitative & individual – model of digit span (ACT-R; Daily, Lovett, & Reder, 2001)
![Page 24: Cognitive basis of general fluid intelligence Adam Chuderski Institute of Psychology Jagiellonian University, Cracow, Poland.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062802/56649e985503460f94b9b933/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Cross task modeling of Control -> Gf – a new project
ACT-R models of individual differences in 4 executive tasks (span task, updating, inhibition, switching). Fitting different parametrizations to non-obvious patterns of experimental data. The relevance of different parameters for generating differences can be evaluated Individual parameters are copied to the model of analogy making (Gf test) The 0-parameter cross-task prediction (executive tasks->analogy) is tested

Conlusions
Not much is known yet on the direction and nature of relation between parameters of human cognitive architecture and intelligence.
Computational modeling may help identify the most promising candidates of architectural features for further investigation.
The role of working memory and control mechanisms of cognitive processes during ‘intelligent’ processing may be the key issue.
