Fluid intelligence and psychosocial outcome: from logical problem solving to social adaptation.

<h4>Background</h4>While fluid intelligence has proved to be central to executive functioning, logical reasoning and other frontal functions, the role of this ability in psychosocial adaptation has not been well characterized.<h4>Methodology/principal findings</h4>A random-pr...
