Why are children learning poorly successful when they grow up?

Human intelligence index may increase or decrease in childhood. That is why many children with poor learning in the first grades can still achieve remarkable academic achievement in adulthood.

Until now, many people think that the IQ (IQ) has not changed during a person's life, but many scientists are skeptical.

Nature reported that scientists from University College London in England chose 19 male students and 14 female students to conduct an IQ study in 2004. At that time their average age was 14. The research team took The students' brains then ask them to take IQ tests in linguistic and nonverbal forms.

The experiment was similar to the group of students repeated in 2008. The results showed that the language-related IQ of 39% of the students changed.

Scientists agree that human linguistic intelligence depends on the density of the left motor cortex - the brain region is activated during human speech. The more the motor cortex of the left is, the more language intelligence increases.

Meanwhile, the greater the density of the frontal cortex, the more non-verbal intelligence increases.

Research shows that IQ may increase or decrease and those who are good at adolescence are still at risk of failing to maintain IQ in the later stages of life. In contrast, poor children can still achieve great academic achievement when they mature.

Sebastian Friston, 23, is one of the people who participated in two trials. His IQ score for the second test soared compared to the first. The young man admits he struggles with subjects in the first classes, especially math. But now he is about to complete a doctoral thesis in computer science.

'I think my IQ increased when I started approaching the subjects I liked. When I like a subject, I spend a lot of time and dedication to it. Thanks to that, I found the subject becomes easier and more interesting , ' Friston said.

Professor Cathy Price, the leader of the research team, commented that parents often evaluate the child's ability to learn early to determine their study plans in the future.

"But we have just demonstrated that a child's intelligence can still grow to a higher level. Therefore adults should not underestimate poor children in the first grades, as their IQ may increase. strong within a few years' , Professor Price said.
