        Erm, actually that was previously thought, there are 2 schools of thought right now...

        1 is you are born with your IQ, and physical and mental health relate to how much potential you can use...

        The other is that the enviroment you are in relates to your ability to learn and process information.

        "It is a suggestive possibility. Recent studies in neuroscience have shown that, at least in the visual system, neuronal synapses that are presented with high levels of stimulation tend to grow and expand, as opposed to those that receive only background ?static? input. Also synapses are believed to grow stronger with regular stimulation, suggesting that an environment rich in variety, stimulation, and activity may improve cognitive function."

        too funny.

          i can dig up 20+ quotes saying that your iq will likely not change *significantly* after age 16. so what? it's not like - 'i read a couple of books - let's test my iq, i must be smarter now'.

            Actually, the age is 8 if I recall.

            Was making a play on words with Sleazy, he apparently has a very small learning capacity to begin with...

            It is good reading though. =) I doubt they'll ever be able to prove an IQ increase over 8, but... the thing is, its mental age divided by a factor.

            We've already proven him to have a mental age around 8, so... I'm thinking it'st still possible with him.

            I'll work on the book now.

                  Umm.. I've never learnt anything, and I won't start a diet!
                  What was this thread all about? Did I catch the very essence of it?
                  ..and I'm off.
