Thanks for the comment. I didn't see t...Sue,<br /> Thanks for the comment. I didn't see the original research, just an article about it, but I don't think they saw it as fixed. And if they do or don't, the research of Carol Dweck that I mentioned <a href="http://pballew.blogspot.com/2010/09/praise-effort-not-potential.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> indicated, "She also looks at people who think intelligence is fixed and compares them to people who think effort can change one’s intelligence. People with the second mindset are able to develop their potential much more effectively than those with a ‘fixed intelligence’ mindset."Pat's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15234744401613958081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2433841880619171855.post-3106157760767594442010-10-02T20:31:20.569+01:002010-10-02T20:31:20.569+01:00>"...a factor of what we call intelligence...>"...a factor of what we call intelligence has a biological basis in the number of nerve fibres in the prefrontal lobe..."<br /><br />If the body can create those fibers during one's life, then maybe becoming 'intelligent' creates the need for them, and then we can measure after the fact. To me, the implication of the sentence was that we start with a set intelligence (measurable by number of those fibers), and I doubt that's true.<br /><br />Interesting correlation. (I've always thought I wasn't very good at music, but when I was drumming during a ritual, a woman who did some fancier drumming on top of the basic beat I had set told me afterward that I had done a great basic beat. Maybe she was just being nice, I wouldn't know...)Sue VanHattumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10237941346154683902noreply@blogger.com
