Abstract
Existing literature suggest that working memory provide significant link on fluid intelligence and that of need for cognition to fluid intelligence however the predicting value of working memory components and need for cognition to fluid intelligence specifically among school age is not yet analyzed. In the current study, we try to identify if working memory components and need for cognition can predict fluid intelligence performance. Form 400 students of public and private schools around Pampanga and Nueva Ecija, only 210 respondents are carefully selected and qualified for these studies. Working memory components utilized tasked such as listening sentence for central executive, digit forward test for phonological loop and memory for the object for the visuospatial sketchpad. For the need for cognition, Need for Cognition Scale-Filipino Version was utilized. Finally, to measure the fluid intelligence test the used of Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices is observed. Results suggest that only central executive and visuospatial sketchpad serve as predictors of fluid intelligence but vary across grade level.
