My admittedly biased training in biology, physiology and medicine would assert training most definitely has a positive effect on cellular, organ and systemic function regardless of whether you are looking for a philosophical definition of intelligence or a tool to measure it.  I disclose my bias.[/quote]

There is nothing wrong with bias.  Bias is nothing more than the prism through which we formulate our opinions.  But I think to a degree we have been talking past each other, or at least that the goalposts keep moving.  Are we talking about training for the purpose of IQ testing?  Are we talking about training for the purpose of improving cognitive development?  Are we talking about training to improve chances for being admitted into a top school?  At various points in this overly long thread, all three of these elements have been brought up, however these elements may or may not actually be complementary - or even be related.  What may help in some areas may have limited impact, or even be an impediment, in others.
