1. A method to promote fluid intelligence abilities in a subject comprising:
- a) displaying a first group of different non-word name labels all having N number of letters, wherein the letters follow a preselected serial order pattern starting with either a consonant letter followed by a vowel letter or a vowel letter followed by a consonant letter; and
further displaying a preselected relational non-word name label of N plus at least one additional letter to represent the first group;
b) prompting the subject to sensorially perceptually search and discriminate, in a first predefined time period, any common orthographic serial order letter patterns, which may include one or more relational open proto-bigrams (ROPB) letter sequences, between the first group and the preselected relational non-word name label;
c) displaying a second group of different word name labels all having the same N number of letters, during a second predefined time period, wherein each word name label has a semantic meaning and each non-word name label does not have a semantic meaning;
d) prompting the subject to compare the first and second groups, during a third predefined time period, to sensorially perceptually discriminate, which word name labels, if any, share one or more common orthographic serial order letter patterns with the first group;
e) prompting the subject to immediately sensory motor select any discriminated word name label having the one or more common orthographic serial order letter patterns, including the ROPB letter sequences of step b);
f) if the sensory motor selection made by the subject is a correct selection, then immediately changing at least one spatial and/or time perceptual related attribute of the correctly selected word name label according to a predefined program;
g) repeating the above steps for a predefined number of iterations; and
h) providing the subject with a score at the end of the predefined number of iterations.

Abstract
Methods of promoting fluid intelligence abilities in a subject are described herein. In particular, exemplary exercises are directed at sensorially perceptually searching and discriminating one or more similarities between the serial order of letters in non-word name label groups, belonging to a relational category represented by a preselected relational non-word name label, and one or more word name labels from a group of words. Correctly sensory motor selected word name labels are highlighted to the subject by displaying the same with at least one changed spatial and/or time perceptual related attribute. Embedded relational open proto-bigrams are further highlighted in the correctly selected word name labels by at least one additional changed spatial and/or time perceptual related attribute.

19. 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) displaying a first group of different non-word name labels all having N number of letters, wherein the letters follow a preselected serial order pattern starting with either a consonant letter followed by a vowel letter or a vowel letter followed by a consonant letter; and
further displaying a preselected relational non-word name label of N plus at least one additional letter to represent the first group;b) prompting the subject to sensorially perceptually search and discriminate, in a first predefined time period, any common orthographic serial order letter patterns, which may include one or more relational open proto-bigrams (ROPB) letter sequences, between the first group and the preselected relational non-word name label; c) displaying a second group of different word name labels all having the same N number of letters, during a second predefined time period, wherein each word name label has a semantic meaning and each non-word name label does not have a semantic meaning; d) prompting the subject to compare the first and second groups, during a third predefined time period, to sensorially perceptually discriminate which word name labels, if any, share one or more common orthographic serial order letter patterns with the first group; e) prompting the subject to immediately sensory motor select any discriminated word name label having the one or more common orthographic serial order letter patterns, including the ROPB letter sequences of step b); f) if the sensory motor selection made by the subject is a correct selection, then immediately changing at least one spatial and/or time perceptual related attribute of the correctly selected word name label according to a predefined program; g) repeating the above steps for a predefined number of iterations; and h) providing the subject with a score at the end of the predefined number of iterations.

20. 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) displaying a first group of different non-word name labels all having N number of letters on the GUI, wherein the letters follow a preselected serial order pattern starting with either a consonant letter followed by a vowel letter or a vowel letter followed by a consonant letter; and
further displaying a preselected relational non-word name label of N plus at least one additional letter on the GUI to represent the first group;b) prompting the subject on the GUI to sensorially perceptually search and discriminate, in a first predefined time period, any common orthographic serial order letter patterns, which may include one or more relational open proto-bigrams (ROPB) letter sequences, between the first group and the preselected relational non-word name label; c) displaying a second group of different word name labels all having the same N number of letters on the GUI during a second predefined time period, wherein each word name label has a semantic meaning and each non-word name label does not have a semantic meaning;
