TLDR
In this article, structural equation modeling was performed to determine which construct served as the best predictor of general fluid intelligence in 120 healthy young adults, and the results suggest that WMC, but not short-term memory capacity or processing speed, is a good predictor of GFL in young adults.About:

Working memory span tasks: A methodological review and user’s guide
Andrew R. A. Conway,Michael J. Kane,Michael F. Bunting,D. Zach Hambrick,Oliver Wilhelm,Randall W. Engle +5 more
TL;DR: The genesis of these tasks is reviewed and how and why they came to be so influential, the reliability and validity of the tasks are addressed, and more technical aspects are considered, such as optimal administration and scoring procedures.

Human cognitive abilities: A survey of factor analytic studies
TL;DR: A survey of factor analytic studies of human cognitive abilities can be found in this paper, with a focus on the role of factor analysis in human cognitive ability evaluation and cognition. But this survey is limited.

The role of prefrontal cortex in working-memory capacity, executive attention, and general fluid intelligence: An individual-differences perspective
Michael J. Kane,Randall W. Engle +1 more
TL;DR: Although the dorsolateral PFC is but one critical structure in a network of anterior and posterior “attention control” areas, it does have a unique executiveattention role in actively maintaining access to stimulus representations and goals in interference-rich contexts.
Journal ArticleDOI
An automated version of the operation span task.
TL;DR: An easy-to-administer and automated version of a popular working memory (WM) capacity task (operation span) that is mouse driven, scores itself, and requires little intervention on the part of the experimenter is presented.

Working-memory capacity and the control of attention: the contributions of goal neglect, response competition, and task set to Stroop interference.
Michael J. Kane,Randall W. Engle +1 more
TL;DR: The data and a literature review suggest that Stroop interference is jointly determined by 2 mechanisms, goal maintenance and competition resolution, and that the dominance of each depends on WM capacity, as well as the task set induced by current and previous contexts.

Principles and Practice of Structural Equation Modeling
TL;DR: The book aims to provide the skills necessary to begin to use SEM in research and to interpret and critique the use of method by others.

A feature-integration theory of attention
Anne Treisman,Garry A. Gelade +1 more
TL;DR: A new hypothesis about the role of focused attention is proposed, which offers a new set of criteria for distinguishing separable from integral features and a new rationale for predicting which tasks will show attention limits and which will not.

TL;DR: Illustration de trois fonctions principales qui sont predominantes dans l'etude de l'intervention de l'sattention dans les processus cognitifs: 1) orientation vers des evenements sensoriels; 2) detection des signaux par processus focal; 3) maintenir la vigilance en etat d'alerte

Individual differences in working memory and reading
TL;DR: The reading span, the number of final words recalled, varied from two to five for 20 college students and was correlated with three reading comprehension measures, including verbal SAT and tests involving fact retrieval and pronominal reference.
Journal ArticleDOI
The processing-speed theory of adult age differences in cognition.
TL;DR: A theory is proposed that increased age in adulthood is associated with a decrease in the speed with which many processing operations can be executed and that this reduction in speed leads to impairments in cognitive functioning because of what are termed the limited time mechanism and the simultaneity mechanism.
