Two competing perspectives on fluid intelligence (gf) measures propose that performance is primarily constrained either by working memory capacity or by the ability to induce novel relations. The first perspective is currently dominant in measurement, as evident from the use of a limited set of recurring rules, whereas the second perspective is reflected in many definitions but rarely present in measurement.

The paper introduces NeuroCognition, a benchmark based on three neuropsychological tests—Raven's Progressive Matrices, Spatial Working Memory, and the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test—to evaluate foundational cognitive abilities in large language models (LLMs). It finds that while LLMs excel on text tasks, their performance drops on image-based and more complex tasks, and they fail different parts of the same tasks compared to humans. NeuroCognition correlates with standard general-capability benchmarks yet measures distinct cognitive skills, highlighting where LLMs align with or diverge from human-like intelligence.

The paper presents a modality‑agnostic, hierarchical Transformer framework for assessing cognitive workload using heterogeneous biosignals. In a pilot study, the authors evaluated all 31 combinations of five modalities (ECG, EDA, RESP, SpO₂, EEG) across three tasks (IQ, MATH, GAME) and found that EEG alone performed best, while adding more modalities did not consistently improve results. The full five‑modality model achieved the highest average accuracy (73.02% on IQ, 68.08% overall) and reduced model size by about 50% compared to late‑fusion approaches.
