Research shows that IQ may be related either to the speed of conduction of neural impulses or to the efficiency of the neural circuitry. Locate scholarly research on IQ related to any or all of these factors and briefly summarize the information. Explain which approach you think provides the most compelling evidence regarding IQ.
Explain processing time theories. Do you think they accurately reflect the aspects of intelligence? Why or why not?
Explain the benefits and drawbacks of conducting IQ tests in general and its use in schools.
Intelligence is the ability to learn, from the observation . experience ,to adapt & slect enviorn ments . The aspects of grasping power .to observe & transmiting / communicating it the same manner which we have learned from the past . The intelligence may be understood in the terms of brain- in regards to the working of the prefortal cortex.
.Now we understand the nerve conduction velocity / speed, its the speed at which electrochemical impulse moves to aneyral way& conduction velocity is affected by many factors , the age factor, sex, other medical conditions The transmission of the nerve impulse along the neurons from one part to another results the electrical changes across the membrane of unstimulated neuron.
Myelin acts as an electrical insulator which speeds up the action potential conduction.
Avery simple formula to calculate the person IQ : mental age divide by physical age x100
scale for classsfying IQscores Over 140= Genius 2) 120 - 140 = very superior 3) 110-119 superior intelligence 90 -109= normal or average. we can sy that RIC COGNITIVE APPROACH helps the students of age group between 4 -17 enhances & gains IQ.
yes , reflect the aspects of intellgence.
time theory : it is said that human brain is like a computer that the behaviour notation that merely responds to stimuli.As computer receives input, processes,& finally delivers out.same process iscarried out by brain receives from senses stored & processed by brain & is finally brought out as a behavioral response.
Benefits & draw back of conducting IQ ingeneral & school : This topic has a big debate & controversial issue because it throws agreat impact on both types of student as high profile will be very happy including their parents but on the other side the students of low profile will feel ashamed .develop poor self image. He may easily feel that he may not even able to to suceed in the exams & achive the goals. as per my view the IQ test should be taken only after the age of 18yrs & not below that
