本研究考察了工作记忆在认知需要（NFC）和智力之间的关系中的作用。我们之前报道过NFC与智力有关，但与工作记忆无关。这是出乎意料的，因为工作记忆与流动智力有很强的关系。167名参与者完成了NFC短量表、WAIS-III和实验工作记忆和流体智力任务。适度分析显示，近距离接触、智力和工作记忆之间存在显著的交互作用。工作记忆似乎在近距离接触和智力之间起调节作用，因此，近距离接触对智力的积极影响只存在于至少具有平均工作记忆能力的个体中。有证据表明，NFC和智力之间的正相关关系随着工作记忆的提高而增强。(C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
This study examined the role of working memory in the relationship between Need for Cognition (NFC) and intelligence. We previously reported that NFC is associated with intelligence but not working memory. This was unexpected as working memory has a strong relationship with fluid intelligence. 167 participants completed the NFC short scale, WAIS-III, and experimental working memory and fluid intelligence tasks. Moderation analyses revealed significant interaction effects between NFC, intelligence, and working memory. Working memory appeared to serve as a moderator between NFC and intelligence such that the positive effect of NFC on intelligence was only present for individuals with at least average working memory ability. There was evidence that the positive association between NFC and intelligence was increased with higher working memory. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
