Brain-training To Improve Memory Boosts Fluid Intelligence

Brain-training efforts designed to improve working memory can also boost scores in general problem-solving ability and improve fluid intelligence, according to new research.

Many psychologists believe general intelligence can be separated into "fluid" and "crystalline" components.

Fluid intelligence --- considered one of the most important factors in learning --- applies to all problems while crystallized intelligence consists of skills useful for specific tasks.
