I.Q. Can Be Improved Significantly by Training Short-Term “Fluid” Memory
By Daniel Miessler on July 4th, 2008: Tagged as Education | Intelligence
An interesting study has come out of the National Science Foundation (NSF) that found that fluid memory (a type of short-term memory) is key to I.Q., and that training this type of memory can significantly improve I.Q. scores.
Chalk one up for nurture.

This study by Jaeggi et al came out in PNAS in April. I found the study so compelling and exciting that I started a new company, consulted with Jaeggi, and developed a software program that applies the same method. Now anyone can benefit from this increase in fluid intelligence for a minimal outlay. (Just $23.75.)
I’ve personally found the training to be very impressive in some not so subtle ways. (I usually struggle with the NY Times Thursday crossword puzzle, but yesterday I completed it in about thirty minutes, for instance.)
