  • Title: Working memory, inhibition, and fluid intelligence as predictors of performance on Tower of Hanoi and London tasks.
    Author: Zook NA, Davalos DB, Delosh EL, Davis HP.
    Journal: Brain Cogn; 2004 Dec; 56(3):286-92. PubMed ID: 15522766.
    Abstract:
    The contributions of working memory, inhibition, and fluid intelligence to performance on the Tower of Hanoi (TOH) and Tower of London (TOL) were examined in 85 undergraduate participants. All three factors accounted for significant variance on the TOH, but only fluid intelligence accounted for significant variance on the TOL. When the contribution of fluid intelligence was accounted for, working memory and inhibition continued to account for significant variance on the TOH. These findings support argument that fluid intelligence contributes to executive functioning, but also show that the executive processes elicited by tasks vary according to task structure.
