Figure 1. Fluid intelligence and cognitive segmentation.

Figure 1

(A) Matrix problem. The task is to choose which of the response alternatives (bottom) would correctly complete the matrix (top). (B) Goal-subgoal hierarchy. (C) Modified matrix problem in typical format. The task is to decide what figure would fill the empty cell of the matrix (dotted outline), with the answer to be drawn in the response box below. (D) Same problem segmented into separate parts. (E) Proportion of problems correctly solved as a function of fluid intelligence. Blue – typical format; red – segmented format.
