1. A method of promoting fluid intelligence abilities in a subject comprising:
- a) selecting a predefined number of alphabetic arrays, containing a selected relational open proto-bigram (ROPB), from a predefined library of stand-alone words, separable affixes, and selected alphabetic arrays, wherein the predefined number of alphabetic arrays may form a sentence; and
displaying the selected predefined number of alphabetic arrays to the subject during a first predefined time period with the selected ROPB either orthographically present or absent;
b) providing the selected ROPB to the subject during the first predefined time period, thereby prompting the subject to discriminate the selected ROPB from the displayed alphabetic arrays of which the ROPB is an integral part;
c) at the end of the first predefined time period, prompting the subject to immediately select, within a second predefined time period, the discriminated ROPB of step b), wherein the subject is required to perform a sensory motor activity for each ROPB selection;
d) if the selection made by the subject is an incorrect selection, then returning to step a);
e) if the selection made by the subject is a correct selection, then immediately displaying the correctly selected ROPB with at least one different spatial and/or time perceptual related attribute than the displayed alphabetic arrays;
f) repeating the above steps for a predetermined number of iterations; and
g) upon completion of the predetermined number of iterations, providing the subject with the results of each iteration.

Abstract
Methods of promoting fluid intelligence abilities in a subject are described herein. In particular, exemplary exercises are directed at the following: sensorially perceptually discriminating embedded relational open proto-bigrams (ROPB) in predefined alphabetic arrays; inserting missing different or same type ROPBs in predefined alphabetic arrays; sensorially perceptually discriminating and sensory motor selecting embedded same or different type ROPBs in predefined stand-alone alphabetic arrays or in predefined stand-alone alphabetic arrays as part of a sentence or figurative speech type sentence; and sensorially perceptually discriminating and sensory motor selecting embedded ROPBs in selected affixes contained within predefined alphabetic arrays.

25. A computer program product for promoting fluid intelligence abilities in a subject, stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, which when executed causes a computer system to perform a method comprising the steps of:
-
a) selecting a predefined number of alphabetic arrays containing a selected relational open proto-bigram (ROPB), wherein the ROPB is selected from a predefined library of stand-alone words, words inside sentences, separable affixes, and selected alphabetic arrays; and
displaying the selected predefined number of alphabetic arrays to the subject during a first predefined time period with the selected ROPB either orthographically present or absent;b) providing the selected ROPB to the subject during the first predefined time period thereby prompting the subject to discriminate the selected ROPB from the displayed alphabetic arrays of which the ROPB is an integral part; c) at the end of the first predefined time period, prompting the subject to immediately select, within a second predefined time period, the discriminated ROPB of step b), wherein the subject is required to perform a sensory motor activity for each ROPB selection; d) if the selection made by the subject is an incorrect selection, then returning to step a); e) if the selection made by the subject is a correct selection, then immediately displaying the correctly selected ROPB with at least one different spatial and/or time perceptual related attribute than the displayed alphabetic arrays; f) repeating the above steps for a predetermined number of iterations; and g) upon completion of the predetermined number of iterations, providing the subject with the results of each iteration.

26. A system for promoting fluid intelligence abilities in a subject, the system comprising:
a computer system comprising; a processor, memory, and a graphical user interface (GUI), wherein the processor contains instructions for; a) selecting a predefined number of alphabetic arrays containing a selected relational open proto-bigram (ROPB), wherein the ROPB is selected from a predefined library of stand-alone words, words inside sentences, separable affixes, and selected alphabetic arrays;
displaying the selected predefined number of alphabetic arrays to the subject on the GUI during a first predefined time period with the selected ROPB either orthographically present or absent;b) providing the selected ROPB to the subject on the GUI during the first predefined time period thereby prompting the subject to discriminate the selected ROPB from the displayed alphabetic arrays of which the ROPB is an integral part; c) at the end of the first predefined time period, prompting the subject to immediately select on the GUI, within a second predefined time period, the discriminated ROPB of step b), wherein the subject is required to perform a sensory motor activity for each ROPB selection; d) determining whether the selection made by the subject is either correct or incorrect; e) if the selection made by the subject is an incorrect selection, then returning to step a); f) if the selection made by the subject is a correct selection, then immediately displaying the correctly selected ROPB on the GUI with at least one different spatial and/or time perceptual related attribute than the displayed alphabetic arrays; g) repeating the above steps for a predetermined number of iterations; and h) upon completion of the predetermined number of iterations, providing the subject with the results of each iteration on the GUI.
