Adaptive n-back training does not improve fluid intelligence at the construct level: Gains on individual tests suggest that training may enhance visuospatial processing

…, M Froufe, S Escorial, K Martínez, M Burgaleta… - Intelligence, 2013 - Elsevier
Short-term adaptive cognitive training based on the n-back task is reported to increase scores
on individual ability tests, but the key question of whether such increases generalize to the …

Bilingualism at the core of the brain. Structural differences between bilinguals and monolinguals revealed by subcortical shape analysis

M Burgaleta, A Sanjuán, N Ventura-Campos… - NeuroImage, 2016 - Elsevier
Naturally acquiring a language shapes the human brain through a long-lasting learning and
practice process. This is supported by previous studies showing that managing more than …

Cognitive ability changes and dynamics of cortical thickness development in healthy children and adolescents

M Burgaleta, W Johnson, DP Waber, R Colom… - Neuroimage, 2014 - Elsevier
Intelligence quotient (IQ) scores tend to remain stable across the lifespan. Nevertheless, in
some healthy individuals, significant decreases or increases in IQ have been observed over …

Can fluid intelligence be reduced to 'simple'short-term storage?

K Martínez, M Burgaleta, FJ Román, S Escorial… - Intelligence, 2011 - Elsevier
Much is written regarding the associations between human intelligence and cognition.
However, it is unusual to find comprehensive studies. Here twenty four measures tapping eight …

Neuroanatomic overlap between intelligence and cognitive factors: morphometry methods provide support for the key role of the frontal lobes

R Colom, M Burgaleta, FJ Román, S Karama… - Neuroimage, 2013 - Elsevier
Evidence from neuroimaging studies suggests that intelligence differences may be supported
by a parieto-frontal network. Research shows that this network is also relevant for cognitive …
