Decoding the Human Brain during Intelligence Testing Open
Understanding the brain mechanisms underlying complex human cognition is a major objective in neuroscience. Previous studies have identified neural correlates of intelligence at different temporal and spatial scales using functional magnet…

No effects of the theta-frequency transcranial electrical stimulation for recall, attention control, and relation integration in working memory Open
Introduction Recent studies have suggested that transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), and especially the theta-frequency tACS, can improve human performance on working memory tasks. However, evidence to date is mixed. Moreov…

Schizophrenia patients perform as well as healthy controls on creative problem solving when fluid intelligence is accounted for Open
The patients performed as well as the controls on both tasks. Analysis of RAT errors suggested that the process of searching for remote associations is comparable in both groups. It is highly improbable that individuals with schizophrenia …

Analytic thinking outruns fluid reasoning in explaining rejection of pseudoscience, paranormal, and conspiracist beliefs Open
Around one third of people across populations hold beliefs in epistemically unwarranted claims and theories. Why this effect is so strong remains elusive. In three studies (total N = 827), we clarified the relationships of fluid reasoning …

Fluid Intelligence Emerges from Representing Relations Open
Based on recent findings in cognitive neuroscience and psychology as well as computational models of working memory and reasoning, I argue that fluid intelligence (fluid reasoning) can amount to representing in the mind the key relation(s)…

Bilingualism caught in a net: A new approach to understanding the complexity of bilingual experience. Open
The growing importance of research on bilingualism in psychology and neuroscience motivates the need for a psychometric model that can be used to understand and quantify this phenomenon. This research is the first to meet this need. We rea…

High individual alpha frequency brains run fast, but it does not make them smart Open
Evidence for the relationship between individual alpha frequency (IAF) and cognitive ability (general intelligence) is inconclusive, and the role of alpha rhythm in shaping cognition is hotly debated. This study aimed to provide more concl…

Various sources of distraction during analogical reasoning Open
Reasoning by analogy requires mapping relational correspondence between two situations to transfer information from the more familiar (source) to the less familiar situation (target). However, the presence of distractors may lead to invali…

Distraction in Semantic Analogies and Their Relationship with Abstract Reasoning Open
Three leading analogical reasoning paradigms: scene analogies and pictorial A:B::C:D analogies (both semantically-rich) and geometric analogies (semantically-lean) were solved by 251 participants. Pictorial analogies included four types of…

Why people err on multiple-choice analogical reasoning tests Open
A widespread tool in analogy research consists of multiple-choice tests that require identifying a relation between two situations and mapping it to another two situations, to find the correct response option. A key source of difficulty du…

Auditory, temporal, and visual sensory discrimination advantage of musicians Open
Literature on sensory discrimination suggests that it relies on two separate abilities, one related to processing of auditory-temporal stimuli, and the other involved in processing non-temporal visual stimuli. Musical training is associate…

Galton and Spearman revisited: Can single general discrimination ability drive performance on diverse sensorimotor tasks and explain intelligence? Open
The well-known hypothesis of Sir Francis Galton (1883) posed that individual differences in performance on diverse sensorimotor tasks are rooted in single general sensory discrimination ability. Relatedly, Charles Spearman (1904) hypothesi…

Spatiotemporal complexity patterns of resting‐state bioelectrical activity explain fluid intelligence: Sex matters Open
Neural complexity is thought to be associated with efficient information processing but the exact nature of this relation remains unclear. Here, the relationship of fluid intelligence ( gf ) with the resting‐state EEG (rsEEG) complexity ov…

Nonlinear effects of spatial connectedness implicate hierarchically structured representations in visual working memory Open
Five experiments investigated the role of spatial connectedness between a pair of objects presented in the change detection task for the actual capacity of visual working memory (VWM) in healthy young adults (total N = 405). Three experime…

How physical interaction with insight problems affects solution rates, hint use, and cognitive load Open
So‐called insight problems are widely studied because they tap into the creative thinking that is crucial for solving real problems. However, insight problems are typically presented in static formats (on paper, computer) that allow no phy…

No indication that the ego depletion manipulation can affect insight: a comment on DeCaro and Van Stockum (2018) Open
Recently, DeCaro and Van Stockum have suggested that ego depletion following intensive self-control can improve insight problem-solving; this finding was interpreted in terms of insight relying on decreased control over attention and memor…
