This study was designed to investigate relations among age, intelligence, and CFF in brain-damaged and normal Ss Among both brain-damaged and normal Ss correlations between intelligence and age were generally low as were those between age and CFF. Within the normal group CFF was unrelated to intelligence; however, within the brain-damaged group CFF was significantly related to verbal intelligence.
