A relational frame skills training intervention to increase general intelligence and scholastic aptitude
TL;DR: This article found that teaching children to derive various relations among stimuli leads to an increase in the full-scale IQ scores of both typically developing children and those with educational and learning difficulties, which corroborate the idea that relational skills may underlie many forms of general cognitive ability.

The proxy-measurement of intelligence quotients using a relational skills abilities index
TL;DR: This article examined correlations between scores on a novel Relational Abilities Index (RAI) and a range of widely-used cognitive ability measures, including Full Scale IQ, and found that performance on the RAI displayed impressive degrees of correlation with the three main IQ indices, three of the four IQ subindices, and three of four cognitive abilities measures, suggesting that RAI assessment may represent a promising potential proxy measure of full-scale IQ.

On the structure of relational responding
TL;DR: The authors investigated the correlations between various types of relational responses and found that training one type of relational responding should differentially improve other relational responses as a function of their relatedness to the trained relation.
