Brain imaging studies have generally found that intelligence is related to:
A) activity in the prefrontal cortex.
B) activity in the parietal cortex.
C) networks linking temporal and frontal cortex.
D) networks linking frontal and parietal cortices.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Brain imaging studies have consistently found that intelligence is associated with stronger connectivity and activity between the frontal and parietal cortices, which are involved in higher order cognitive functions such as attention, working memory, and problem-solving. Activity in these regions and their connections with each other are thought to underlie the efficient processing and integration of information that is characteristic of intelligent individuals. Activity in the prefrontal cortex and temporal cortex are also important for some aspects of intelligence, but the strongest findings suggest connections between the frontal and parietal lobes.
