Goal neglect and knowledge chunking in the construction of novel behaviour☆

•Fluid intelligence links closely to goal neglect in novel behaviour.•Neglect increases strongly with task complexity.•The task complexity effect is bounded by task-subtask structure.•We argue that complex behaviour is controlled in a series of attentional episodes.•A new account of fluid intelligen...
