There are many factors of Intelligence related to Nature vs Nurture and this effects IQ. This is a physical development, both mentally and physically necessary for a healthy development. A brain that has received optimum nutrition during gestation and in infancy and if healthy is primed to work well. A brain that receives Optimum health, that gives influences, gene intelligence, life intelligence, along with so many social factors. Children from poor or deprived countries often come out at the bottom of the heap. Children who come from a privileged environment are the ones who, in most cases turn out alright. This is thought to be increased talking and interacting in a positive, and supportive way.
Intelligence is the ability to make sensible and reasonable decisions. The influence of genes is said to be an account for about half the differences of IQ between 2 people. Identical twins are never identical genetically, but can have similar genes. Testing is for IQ, the Intelligence for general knowledge. It is thought that there are 50 genes related to high IQ. We each are hybrids genetically, so a higher IQ comes from a supportive, healthy, quality environment for the young that are developed in a woman’s womb. It is not even feasible to expect a healthy mind from a cold Lab environment. Those with larger brains in Creation’s Family seem to have an advantage. The size of neural density is extremely important and plasticity shows the cells in xx chromosome binary to be thicker than others where plasticity is concerned.
Depression, fatigue and some forms of illness can interfere in forms of brain health, and can interfere in decision making in a less than Optimum brain health. A stimulating social environment seems to help support a socially healthy brain along with nourishment of spirit, and brain health with calm environments.
Our Children after Covid 19 release from Wuhan Lab are struggling with those less fortunate people that came from poorer countries, and right now our Children who were attacked by this biological man made virus are having a huge “March for our Lives” as Children. They have been shot at, killed, trafficked, sold a lie about trafficking, dying on our borders, crossing the borders illegally, in our country shooting each other, and now this virus release of Covid 19 form Wuhan China. The “March for our Lives” tells us something about how our Children in our America’s are struggling since 2015 to 2023.
The goal is “Value” of a Child’s life, and the outcome and the reward expected as a result of this decision, is a decision to stand up for Children who have the right to life with their bodies, minds, and souls of self direction in tact. The brain makes a decision or prediction at how likely it is the decision of the individual will deliver the reward envisaged which can be compared with actual healthy outcomes in supportive governed environments. However, so far in April 2023, I do not see this happening. The shootings, and killings I see are everyday occurrences. The burning of buildings everyday. It appears that the brains are less than Optimum in Health and the decisions are based on “Prediction and Consequence Errors.”
The role of “Emotions” are for decision making and judgments are profoundly effected and can make a Prediction and Consequence Error in Judgment. Emotions and feelings drive actions, without it, the brain is like a car with steering but no power. I have often said, all genders right now are like trying to steer a herd of buffalo down the road. Mood may have a profound effect on the outcome of decision making. Being in a pleasant or anxiety driven environment, or even neutral moods are experiencing extreme emotion and feelings at this time, and can have a significant short term influence on decision making, in areas of the brain for reasoning and intelligence and other types of higher cognition. My condolences for our population of Children who struggle right now for healthy because of stupid decision making.
