Fluid intelligence after frontal lobe lesions
Abstract
Generally positive correlations between different ability tests provide the evidence for a factor of "general intelligence" or Spearman's g. Though a possible neural substrate for g is suggested by executive impairments following frontal lobe lesions, preserved IQs in some frontal patients have been taken as strong evidence against this interpretation. We show that such results depend on how g is measured. Patients with superior IQs on the most clinically popular test--the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale--show impairments of 20-60 points on conventionally measured fluid intelligence or novel problem solving. On psychometric grounds, it is fluid intelligence that is most closely related to Spearman's g. The data suggest that g may in large part be a reflection of frontal functions.

The dysexecutive syndrome may fractionate at the behavioral level, analogous to the fractionation of executive cognitive functions.
“Thus it would seem that in the same way as there is growing evidence for the fractionation of executive cognitive functions (see, e.g., Burgess, 1997; Burgess & Shallice, 1994, 1996a, 1996c; Duncan et al., 1995; Goldstein et al., 1993), the syndrome may fractionate also at the behavioral level.”

At least some conventional IQ tests do not tap many aspects of the cognitive and everyday problems shown by dysexecutive patients.
“It would appear that at least some conventional IQ tests do not tap many aspects of the cognitive and everyday problems shown by dysexecutive patients (see Burgess, 1997; Duncan et al., 1995, for further discussion of the relationship between IQ and executive function).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
