Head and intelligence
Today you will not find any person who would doubt which organ of our organism is responsible for intelligence. Certainly, this is a brain!
It is known, that the volume of a brain accrues up to ten years’ age, then its size is fixed. However the maximal growth rate of a brain was not fixed, as this process occurs in the third trimester of the gestational period, a little bit being slowed down during the first year of the baby’s life. English scientists have studied dependence of mental abilities of the person from external and internal influences during the intensive growth.
Scientists have conducted dynamic ratio research of head sizes of the researched children and growth of their intellectual development parameters. As a result of the research experts came to a conclusion that there is a close connection of IQ growth in the age of eight years and dynamics of the head growth up to one year. Small rates of head size growth in of tender years, worsen a little parameters of intellectual development in school years.
