This is very true. I was always one of those at the bottom of our class and of course becoming one made me question my capabilities and so on. I didn't want to stay like that forever. So I always studied, read books, and answered puzzles. I did anything that would make my brain "work". It was like a training for my brain. And so every semester I saw my progress until I reached the top. I was really happy I achieved such. And now it's so easy and fast for me to analyze and memorize.

What about the loss of IQ due to brain damage? TBI or stroke sufferers may improve their discognitive symptoms significantly through intensive therapy, however their cognitive functions almost never return fully to pre-trauma levels. It seems to be generally accepted that most kinds of brain damage are permanent.
@AnonymousAlien20996 жыл бұрын
I have had 3+ severe brain concussions in the past, yet I am alive without any single neuron getting damaged. It doesn't affect your IQ at all, though in some cases, it may affect your memory/speech/body language.
@jerryblizzard93636 жыл бұрын
Am4d3usM0z4rt I had a TBI in 1994, plus many attempts to kill me since then. My frontal lobe appeared like scrambled eggs. My IQ was tested in 1993 at 128. When retested in 2008 my IQ was 139. A person can repair the faulty neuro synapses within his own head. I have done so! I will not explain how to do it for free online though. Also in 2008 I received my MA - Transpersonal Psychology. And was granted my PhD - Theology. Happiness comes from within and so does healing of mind, body, and spirit.
@rossturchyn2536 жыл бұрын
"A person can repair faulty neuro synapses within his own head." ~"love IS the answer." Ridiculous as cliche but devotions (exactly like Yoga or a Biblical devotion) of love increase circulation while reducing edema, swelling, and cortisol production. That last is like the neurotransmitter of stress (hate, say, or anxiety) not only decreasing learning ability during stress but reducing production of Human Growth Hormone (the cellular repairs your body makes at night from REM sleep) participating directly in PTSD - which is a physical hardening of the Amygdalla or emotional switching center of your brain. When you see red, makes me wonder just what we are seeing!?! All you have to be able to do is focus with your complete being - far beyond how much you want it or hate it, you have to devote yourself to it, like you want to cherish that thing into marrying you. If Transpersonal Psychology and Theology can focus your devotion then they can be as effective or more than left/right channel syncopated music tracks at 120-220 beats a minute, or Tetris the video game - both practices show positive results in neural plasticity and so neuro-genesis. Interesting that marijuana is 1 of 5 biochemical compounds to have been found that participate in neural plasticity. "Continuous learning keeps you young" is a quote from the Centenarian Study (the Okinawan components) of populations who live over 100 years. Memories are tagged to specific locations (cells) so the tape, or access to it, does get scrambled - but repairs occur through the surrounding areas to link those aptitudes back to function. Consistently the comment is the person is "more" than they were before - because afterwards they "CAN" have corresponding aptitude, but with greater "depth of perspective" because the adaptive growth pathway now involves more cells. We are a collection of organic elastic bands - if you work them they maintain and rebuild their function. And that is where the whole process becomes more like art than science because how many scientists will focus on devotions to love? (but we Do have scientific studies on Tetris...) ~you just got to want it beyond anything you have ever wanted in your life before - because in leveraging your own brains cellular growth, you have to grow beyond anything you ever were before.

So the brain grows when we're struggling with things. Does the "thing" have to be something specific? Like math? or science? Logical reasoning? Literature? Art? Music? and what's the effect of stronger connectedness between neurons? Do we get smarter or just think faster? or maybe do better at the things we're struggling with? This should be an hour-long video, I was just getting interested and suddenly the video ended...

Yes, there are variations in levels of innate talent, IQ, and such. There is so much variation in every population that it's simply not reasonable to say that we all have the same capacity. However, there is variation in height and it's a well-known fact that proper diet, exercise, and sleep can significantly increase your potential height. Occasionally, there are some incredibly tall 8'5" giants who were basically genetic accidents. There are some freakishly smart people in this world, but there are many factors that can contribute to the growth of intelligence as well. An analogy: Imagine a water bottle standing next to a bathtub. The bathtub can obviously hold more water. But are you going to fill the water bottle up all the way anyway? Of course you are! Look, most of us aren't going to be as smart as Gauss or Newton in our lifetime in the way that a normal-capacity bottle is never going to be as full as a bathtub filled with water. But why keep the bottle empty? It has a capacity, so fill it! And also, don't assume that the bathtub doesn't need water. Besides, why compare yourself to the intellectual giants? Be the best that YOU can. It's cheesy, but what's the point in comparing yourself to the one-in-a-billion geniuses? What will that accomplish? God knows that I would feel absolutely inadequate if I felt obligated to be the next Euler. Just keep doin' your thang, man. Your brain is an amazing organ, and never doubt that.

Yeah that's true, i mean in order to learn anything you pretty much need to struggle as part of the process. No one becomes a master at something (e.g. becoming a doctor, lawyer, violinist, ballerina) after a few months, it takes years of education/practice, and during those years some things won't be easy, you'll learn skill through pushing through the difficulties. I think the reason why many people think they have a cap on learning something is because they give up at the struggle stage. For example, i tried learning PHP (a computer language). I gave up after a few days, but after a few months, i ended up reading a certain book which explained it in a way that i just 'got it', and it' makes a lot more sense now! So i think that people can do pretty much anything if they practice hard enough and never give up (but still, some do just have natural talent, and i guess don't go through the 'struggle phase' as much). It's all about self-belief , dedication and determination i think! ")

Khan Academy is FANTASTIC! THAT BEING SAID...one very significant point of consideration! I'm not so sure getting the answer wrong or making mistakes makes the brain grow more. I think its more a factor of how much you struggle regardless if you get the answer wrong or right, or if you make a mistake, don't make a mistake. However, I don't think you get "smarter" unless you can verify you correctness and/or make verified corrections as needed. Hopefully these corrections can be made in a timely manner to avoid misconceptions and "learned helplessness". The pit is a good place to be if you can pull yourself out, even if you need some help getting out. It is no place to live or visit for an unnecessary extended period of time.
