Highlights • A cohort of 10–16 year-olds completed an abstract reasoning task during MEG.• Performance on the abstract reasoning task correlated with fluid intelligence.• The task was associated with increased cortical dynamics in frontoparietal areas.• Youth showed sexually divergent patterns of distributed cortical activity with age.• Specific frontoparietal activity differentially predicted aspects of task behavior.
