    "title": "Chunking in Working Memory and its Relationship to Intelligence",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Short-term memory and working memory are two distinct\nconcepts that have been measured in simple and complex\nspan tasks respectively. A new span task was designed to\nmanipulate a chunking factor while using a procedure similar\nto simple span tasks. This span task allowed studying the\ninteraction between storage and processing in working\nmemory, when processing is fully dedicated to optimizing\nstorage. The main hypothesis was that the storage ×\nprocessing interaction that can be induced by the chunking\nfactor is an excellent indicator of intelligence because both\nworking memory and intelligence depend on optimizing\nstorage. Two experiments used an adaptation of the SIMON®\ngame in which chunking opportunities were estimated using\nan algorithmic complexity metric. The results show that the\nmetric can be used to predict memory performance and that\nintelligence is well predicted by the new chunking span task\nin comparison to other simple and complex span tasks",
