{"pk":27083,"title":"Exploring Functions of Working Memory Related to Fluid Intelligence:Coordination and Relational Integration","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Two hypothesized functions of working memory –coordination (ability to maintain unrelated storage loads duringprocessing) and integration (ability to integrate multipleelements into a relation) – were explored and compared to fluidintelligence. In Experiment 1, 130 participants completed amodified Latin-Square Task (LST) which experimentallyadded or reduced storage load. Results suggested that pureintegration (with no storage load) could predict Gf, but nodifference was found between coordination and integration.Experiment 2 employed the Arithmetic Chain Task (ACT),again with modifications to storage load. Results supportreplication of LST findings, though a distinction was foundbetween coordination and integration when storage materialcould not be easily rehearsed. Findings from both experimentssupport a distinction between coordination and integrationtasks in understanding the WM-Gf association.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"working memory; fluid intelligence; relational integration"}],"section":"Posters: Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8pf702n9","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Joel","middle_name":"E.","last_name":"Bateman","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Sydney","department":""},{"first_name":"Damian","middle_name":"P.","last_name":"Birney","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Sydney","department":""},{"first_name":"Vanessa","middle_name":"","last_name":"Loh","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Sydney","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2017-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/27083/galley/16719/download/"}]}
