Videnskab - Intelligens kan trænes
"Ikke særlig stolt af resultatet af IQ-testen? Der findes håb. Intelligens kan nemlig trænes op, mener schweiziske forskere.
"»Mange forskere har ikke troet det er muligt at forbedre intelligensen,« siger Susanne M. Jaeggi fra University of Michigan i Ann Arbor, USA.
"»Vore opdagelser viser klart at dette ikke passer. Vores hjerne er mere plastisk end vi måske tror,« siger hun. "
BedreInnovation - Du kan træne dig til højere intelligens
"To unge forskere fra Berns universitet, Susanne Jaeggi og Martin Buschkuehl, har lavet en undersøgelse, der viser, at din evne til at tænke og forstå kan forøges med simple øvelser. Forskerne har ellers troet, at vores intelligens var genetisk bestemt og umulig at træne.
"Et normalt menneske, der prøver for første gang, vil have alvorlige problemer allerede ved at huske to gange tilbage - hvis man er skarp, når man måske hurtigt op på tre til fem gange. Efter fire ugers træning nåede de absolut bedste testpersoner op på 11 gange."
NY Times - Memory Training Shown to Turn Up Brain Power
"Until now, it had been widely assumed that the kind of mental ability that allows us to solve new problems without having any relevant previous experience ... is innate and cannot be taught ... But in the new study, researchers describe a method for improving this skill, along with experiments to prove it works...
"...the longer they trained, the higher their scores were. All performers, from the weakest to the strongest, showed significant improvement."
Telegraph - 'Brain Training' games do work
"'There is a huge market of software concerning brain training, IQ-training, and so on. But there is no real scientific evidence that these programs actually work...' says Dr Jaeggi.
"A key question, she says, is 'why we found transfer, while so many others failed.' ... Rather than focus on strategies ... they wanted to focus on tasks that depend on many processes (including task coordination, working memory processes, focusing your attention).
"And [Jaeggi] says motivation is important too. 'Same in sports: you can not expect to get better in football if you merely run around a little bit and not really want to improve.'"
CBS News - Boost Your Memory, Become Smarter?
"The [researchers'] findings challenge current beliefs that the only way to increase fluid intelligence scores is by directly practicing on the tests used to calculate the score. Until now, there has been no evidence to suggest that other types of brain training would increase such scores in adults."
WIRED - Forget Brain Age: Researchers Develop Software That Makes You Smarter
"'The most important point of our work is that we can show that it is possible to improve fluid intelligence,' said Martin Buschkuehl...
"[people can] improve their IQ scores by taking lots of IQ tests. Trouble is, learning how to take IQ tests doesn't improve the underlying smarts ..."
London Times - Mind games may improve our performance at work
"A daily regime of mental gymnastics can improve people’s intelligence and make them better at their jobs, a study has shown. ... Devoting 25 minutes a day to specially designed mental exercises is enough to bring about significant improvements, but even five minutes should be enough to help.
"Su doku, The Times crossword and other tests provide valuable mental exercise for the brain but have limited value because they help mental improvement only at similar tasks. The new study, however, stimulated problem-solving abilities in the brain that can be applied to a variety of circumstances."
National Science Foundation - Plastic Brain Outsmarts Experts
"... Crystallized intelligence draws on existing skills, knowledge and experiences to solve problems ... Fluid intelligence draws on the ability to understand relationships between various concepts, independent of any previous knowledge or skills, to solve new problems. The research shows that this part of intelligence can be improved through memory training.
"General intelligence is a key to determining life outcomes such as academic success, job performance and occupational advancement ... Researchers also surmise that this same type of memory training may help children with developmental problems and older adults who face memory decline."
