(IQ research happens to be a big interest of mine, but I don’t usually write about it — mostly because it’s useless for the individual practitioner).

How so? And does the two intel type any relation to the three memory type? If so how?

Can’t speak definitively about the relation of the 3 types of memory to the differences in intelligence.
But IQ research in general doesn’t map well to individual outcomes. It’s a population level statistical predictor. Not useful to pay attention to it as a practitioner.

So as a practitioner, you look at memory research. What criteria you use to look at fields useful for practitioner? From the above, I can only form 1 criteria which is don’t look at population level statistical predictors

Actually, look at learning research. Memory research can be very very distracting.
What I've learnt is that you *shouldn't* read neuroscience. You want the right level of abstraction. So: neuroscience is too low level, whereas brain function is often useful.

“The right level of abstraction” is *great* advice.
On my own I did find the chunking model via Barbara Oakley work. Which I believe u covered somewhere.
Any other examples of brain function research?

Apologies I meant examples of learning research and brain function research

Well, I'm currently interested in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, because emotion regulation is a superpower in an age of knowledge work. And I also want to do a *proper* summary of burnout research — there's a 2016 survey paper by Maslach, but I'm curious to see developments.

You probably have this in your pile of research papers to look at
On the off chance you don’t
I found this in my kindle highlights

Odd. That is NOT the predominant view that I am aware of. (Taste test: is it just one paper that’s quoted? Is it a meta analysis? If yes to the former and no to the latter, the author is probably wrong).

That said, I’m definitely going to add that to the stack of papers I’m reading. Thanks for the reference 🙏

WElcome. I am always looking out for new viewpoints and I value what you bring to the table via .
By the way, the page I cite is from Chapter 6 Work Work Work of Barking up the Wrong Tree by Eric Barker
