TL;DR: It is found that games categorized to tap working memory and reasoning were robustly related to performance onWorking memory and fluid intelligence tasks, with fluid intelligence best predicting scores on workingMemory and reasoning games.

Why is working memory related to fluid intelligence
TL;DR: Strong influences of fluid intelligence were apparent in the simplest versions and on the initial trials in the working memory tasks, which suggests that the relation between working memory and fluid intelligence is not dependent on the amount of information that must be maintained, or on processes that occur over the course of performing the tasks.
Aging of attention: Does the ability to divide decline?
TL;DR: The results of both experiments indicated that there were relatively few age-related influences on dual-task performance vis-à-vis those on single- task performance.

Shared age-related influences on cognitive and noncognitive variables.
TL;DR: Results indicated that measures of visual acuity, grip strength, and blood pressure shared age-related variance with measures of perceptual speed, episodic memory, spatial visualization, and inductive reasoning, but although the cognitive variables shared similar amounts of variance in age-restricted and age-partialed analyses, the variance shared between cognitive and noncognitive variables was substantially reduced after controlling the influence of age.
