The Development of Fluid Intelligence: Evidence for the Role of Working Memory but Not Processing Speed
This study recruited 243 children ranging from 10 to 18 years of age to investigate the role of working memory and processing speed in the development of fluid intelligence. Confirmatory factor…

Sustained Attention and Its Relationship to Fluid Intelligence and Working Memory in Children
Understanding individual differences in intelligence remains an interesting research question, even with more than a century of empirical research and large numbers of models and theories. We know…
Development of Speed, Memory, and Fluid Reasoning in Children
TLDR
The results in this study suggest that working memory is a better predictor of fluid reasoning in children than secondary memory, however, secondary memory is still a better predictors than working memory.

TLDR
Testing the performance of 4 age groups on 4 different tasks provided strong support for the global trend hypothesis, which posits that processing speed changes as a function of age, and that all component processes change at the same rate.
