» Melissa Dylan - Does Mental Exercize Make You Smarter?

Your article on mental exercize made me think: can people actually become smarter? Where their IQ and resoning abilities become sharper? A lot of recent parenting tactics (with Baby Mozart and the like) would have us believe that you can, but I'm not sure I buy it. Aren't people just born with a certain intelligence level, and that's it?

Smarter?

Seems like it might be related to evolution, doesn't it?

Our intelligence does evolve. It's what education is all about. Right?

Genetics is an important factor, but research shows that mental sharpness responds to both physical and mental exercise. The jury is still out on the value of Baby Einstein, etc. but exposing a child to visual and mental stimulation, within limits, can't hurt, can it? Use it or lose it seems to apply to mental and physical strength.

Pretty cool I have to say! It's unorthodox, but seems that it's proven.

Though the study you quote is small, I think it makes a compelling story. Other studies indicate the same general result. Exercise is good for us in so many ways.
