the iq test are mostly the prefrontal area of the brain for active memory, and also for the divergence form of deductive reasoning, but declarative learning and inductive reasoning is not determined, and that should be even more important

yea that blows..

You know, it's a really good remark because as far as I know the intelligence itself is defined (in some cases as there is a multitude of definitions) as the ability to learn quickly and to adapt quickly to new circumstances. Yet, remember that IQ tests were created to determine whether a child will have some difficulties with learning and not to find geniuses;)

It's unfortunate that embedding has been deleted. Not too impressive of Google.

In my opinion the design of IQ test are just able to determine limited configuration of processing ability and test for limited number of subjects interconnection ability, but you can never be 100% sure if someones brain is able to process much more efficiently in totally different system, even unique one.

Still, my question is how can you be sure that IQ test is accurate in case someone does find connections that are not designed by IQ test? A lot of people are able to visually construct and interpret interactions of some kind between things that are not visual, like music or touch, words or sentences... I don't think it's accurate to measure someones IQ by "generalization" of any kind; it's a starting point but not definitive and absolute.

IQ tests are largely test of prefrontal cortex function, and that's by design.

What Would William James Do? Really interesting presentation. Neuroscience blows my mind (pun intended).

This was so confusing, by the end my head was really hurting.

Interesting stuff. Maybe he could also use the brain model to investigate why soldiers commit suicide more often than regular guys and often get into psychological problems after combat. It might be something interesting for the navy to fund.
