[quote=Anonymous]What's the point of this discussion? Would you stop giving your brain regular workouts, so to speak, if you were convinced it would not increase your IQ? Would you start if you were convinced it would? Or is this about whether people should start (keep?) drilling their preschoolers on various components of different IQ tests (e.g. repeating a string of numbers in reverse order) in hopes of making them smarter and/or convincing some school that such well-prepped kids are smarter than they really are? None of these scenarios really make any sense to me. There are better ways to encourage kids (or people generally) to use their brains -- both because the activities involved are more engaging and because the learning involved has some long-term utility.
