👉 The WM Fluid (Working Memory Fluid) is a component of working memory, a cognitive system responsible for temporarily holding and manipulating information necessary for complex tasks like reasoning, comprehension, and learning. WM Fluid refers to the capacity and efficiency of this system, particularly in processing abstract information without relying on prior knowledge. It plays a crucial role in tasks that require quick mental calculations, pattern recognition, and problem-solving under time pressure. Unlike other aspects of working memory that depend on semantic or episodic knowledge, WM Fluid is more about raw processing power and flexibility, enabling individuals to adapt and perform effectively even when faced with novel or challenging situations.
