In the 1920s, American psychologist Terman L.M.Terman improved Binet-Simon Intelligence Scale and completed a long-term experiment involving 1.200 "gifted children" whose IQ was above 1.40.
This protracted experiment can still be traced back to the status quo of more than 800 "gifted children". After investigation, it was found that most of them did not become scientists, a few achieved something, and others "disappeared from everyone".
In the common sense at that time, heredity was the biggest factor affecting IQ. However, after this experiment, Terman suggested that children with high IQ do have similarities, but they are not inherited.
First, the ability to understand
From small to large, from shallow to deep is the objective development law of most things, and "gifted children" must also follow this.
The biggest difference between high IQ and ordinary children is the efficiency of understanding: ordinary children's understanding ability may need to be pondered repeatedly to understand, while children with high IQ can understand and master it in a very short time, and the efficiency difference between them is even more than three times.
This is why "gifted children" attract people's attention. They have excellent learning and understanding abilities in one or more fields, and they absorb and use knowledge quickly.
Second, the memory is strong.
It seems like a joke, but it is a common problem of many students at present. Another outstanding point of children with high IQ is their strong memory. The basic premise of learning any knowledge is to remember that only when there is enough knowledge in the brain can there be room for intellectual development.
The beginning of high IQ is often a huge memory reserve. For the questions raised by others, children with high IQ can only answer by thinking, which is the most obvious point for children with high IQ.
Third, the ability of logical thinking.
Creativity is the best embodiment of logical thinking ability. Why do some people always have a steady stream of "inspiration"?
Einstein has a good explanation: "Creativity is more important than knowledge".
This is fully reflected in Einstein. His relativity-mass-energy relationship, photoelectric effect and quantum mechanics can all prove his greatness. It is rumored that his IQ is as high as 165.
Even leonardo da vinci, the author of Mona Lisa, is rumored to have an IQ of 230.
When sorting out his manuscript, people were surprised to find that he not only drew a sketch of the principle of bicycle structure, but also had in-depth ideas on scientific creations beyond the times such as helicopter wings, diving devices and robots.
The achievements of these two great men reflect their outstanding logical thinking ability to a certain extent, because they cannot be integrated and innovated by knowledge and memory alone, so logical thinking ability is very important.
1, 3-6 years old: Pay attention to the balanced development of children's left and right brains.
Parents who care about their children's brain development know that the brain is divided into left brain and right brain.
Most people focus on the left brain. In fact, when the brain works, the left and right brains work in coordination. The more balanced the development of the left and right brain, the faster the brain reacts, the stronger the coordination ability, and the smarter it will be in the future.
Especially children with high IQ should pay more attention to the balanced development of the left and right brains.
After 2.7 years old: establish logical thinking mode.
Parents should cultivate their children's thinking ability from an early age. According to Terman's research data, the high IQ of most "gifted children" is reflected in their unique thinking mode, which can also prevent children from falling into rigid thinking by rote.
Use chess, Go or detective stories to help children form the habit of thinking, let them learn to ask "what to ask" and encourage them to have all kinds of "fantastic ideas".
