顶额叶整合理论（P-FIT）指定分布在整个大脑中的几个区域与智力相关。该理论源自之前发表的使用各种成像方法和认知能力测试的研究。在这里，我们使用心理测量电池攻丝液、结晶和空间智力因素在年轻健康成年人的新样本（N = 100）中测试了这一理论。获得高分辨率结构 MRI 扫描 (3T) 并使用基于体素的形态测量 (VBM) 进行分析。主要发现与 P-FIT 一致，支持一般智力 (g) 涉及整个大脑多个皮质区域的观点。关键区域包括背外侧前额叶皮层、布罗卡区和韦尼克区、体感关联皮层和视觉关联皮层。此外，在统计上去除 g 后，对结晶智力和空间智力的估计仍然与一般智力共享几个大脑区域，但也显示出一定程度的独特性。 (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. 保留所有权利。
The parieto-frontal integration theory (P-FIT) nominates several areas distributed throughout the brain as relevant for intelligence. This theory was derived from previously published studies using a variety of both imaging methods and tests of cognitive ability. Here we test this theory in a new sample of young healthy adults (N = 100) using a psychometric battery tapping fluid, crystallized, and spatial intelligence factors. High resolution structural MRI scans (3T) were obtained and analyzed with Voxel-based Morphometry (VBM). The main findings are consistent with the P-FIT supporting the view that general intelligence (g) involves multiple cortical areas throughout the brain. Key regions include the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, Broca's and Wernicke's areas, the somato-sensory association cortex, and the visual association cortex. Further, estimates of crystallized and spatial intelligence with g statistically removed, still share several brain areas with general intelligence, but also show some degree of uniqueness.
