Extremes of Intelligence Low Extreme  Mental retardation- low test score (70 and below) difficulty adapting to life demands. High Extreme  Most believe are isolated and introverted, but most become well adjusted and successful

Neuroscience and intelligence  -Studies using MRI scans reveal modest correlation between brain size and intelligence (adjusted for body size).  Other researchers have found that intelligent people have faster perceptual and neurological reactions on tests

Is intelligence more heavily influenced by nature or nurture? Nature  -most genetically similar siblings often have the most similar IQ scores.  --adopted children score very similar to adopted parent. As they grow older=score more alike their biological parent Nurture  Neglected children often do not score as well on test.  How do different programs effect your intelligence? (a child who may not be qualified to take an AP Course, will it help their intelligence to be exposed to the information)

 1) Do you believe nature or nurture had more of an impact on her intelligence?  2) Evaluate her situation. Is her mother working her too hard?  3) Does intelligence change or stay the same over time?
