I recently stumbled upon a paper published last year that suggests that fluid intelligence can be trained and that the training effect is dosage-dependent:
Improving fluid intelligence with training on working memory Jaeggi et al. PNAS. 2008.
Speaking of IQ, Linda S. Gottfredson recently published Logical fallacies used to dismiss the evidence on intelligence testing which might be of interest to some of the readers.
For anybody who's interested in trying the "dual n-back" task mentioned in Jaeggi et al., there is Brain Workshop, a free, open-source implementation, with a lively community of users.
Hey thanks for this. I'm always up for an article in intelligence research.
