Document Summary
London cab drivers study: measured iq on various levels in people who are going to be cab drivers, put them through rigorous training (on cab driving, iq changed over time; cab drivers grey matter (brain power) changed significantly. So what"s with the notion of stability: changes can be made to iq (through intervention, i. e. diet, environment, etc. , this ability is kind of dead (i. e. no longer relevant) Neural plasticity: neural sculpting (can change the way the brain works) Cognition: processing information, how we process information, this can be learned, implications for education. Programs: working well beyond class norms (get bored in the classroom/with the general curriculum, enrichment (more complex, challenging curriculum, acceleration, independent programs. Intellectual disabilities: significantly below average general cognitive abilities, as measured on intelligence assessments (below 70 iq, very slow rate of learning, may be moderate to severe, inherited (genetic mutation, etc. , acquired (after birth, head injury, etc. )
