Differences in Induced Brain Activity during the Performance of Learning and Working-Memory Tasks Related to Intelligence
Jausovec, Norbert; Jausovec, Ksenija
Brain and Cognition, v54 n1 p65-74 Feb 2004
Thirteen high intelligent (H-IQ) and 13 low intelligent (L-IQ) individuals solved two figural working-memory (WM) tasks and two figural learning tasks while their EEG was recorded. For the WM tasks, only in the theta band group related differences in induced event-related desynchronization/synchronization (ERD/ERS) were observed. L-IQ individuals displayed greater theta synchronization in the later phases of task completion (1000-2000ms) as compared to H-IQ individuals. For the learning tasks group related differences in the three alpha bands were observed. In the upper alpha band L-IQ individuals showed greater ERD in the frontal brain areas, whereas H-IQ individuals displayed greater ERD in the parieto-occipital brain areas.
