- When are fluid intelligence and working memory isomorphic and when are they not (2013, background): “Individual Gf level has been related to the number of elements (Colom et al., 2008; Cowan et al., 2006), the number of temporary bindings among elements (Oberauer, Süß, Wilhelm, & Sander, 2007), or the number of variables within a relation describing elements (Halford, Cowan, & Andrews, 2007) that…”
- The Neuroscience of Intelligence (2016, background): “, 2003a), but these issues are not yet settled (Burgaleta & Colom, 2008; Colom et al., 2008; Thomas et al., 2015).”
- Working memory capacity: Attention control, secondary memory, or both? A direct test of the dual-component model (2010, background): “This possibility is consistent with recent claims that memory abilities, but not attention control abilities, are the primary determinant of WMC (e.g., Mogle et al., 2008; see Colom et al., 2008 for a similar claim based on short-term storage abilities).”
- Storage capacity explains fluid intelligence but executive control does not (2012, methodology): “…updating tests have been found to correlate strongly with both complex (Ecker, Lewandowsky, Oberauer, & Chee, 2010; Schmiedek et al., 2009) and simple spans (Colom et al., 2008), so one can expect that updating is not any executive property of WM, but it mostly relies on available storage capacity.”
- The concurrent validity of the N-back task as a working memory measure (2010, background): “…looks as though the N-back task is equally or even more closely related to simple span measures than to complex WM-span measures (correlations between r .12 and r .53; Colom et al., 2008; Dobbs & Rule, 1989; Gevins & Smith, 2000; Oberauer, 2005; Roberts & Gibson, 2002; Shelton et al., 2007, 2009).”
