Excellent article. Thank you.

Excellent article. Thank you.

You're welcome. What if school children are taught using the ideas presented here? What if retirees continue to learn in this manner? It makes a lot of sense.

Your Wikipedia link indicates there is open-source software that can be downloaded for various electronic platforms including Windows. I'm looking forward to checking it out. Thanks.

I liked everything except point 4. Working harder does not equate to working smarter.

^ perhaps.....maybe it depends on the "concentration" level involved.

You can't increase your "intelligence" - that's a vague catchall term. However, you can expand your knowledge base by reading everything you can get your hands on, even subjects you have no interest in. You can read books on reasoning and critical thinking, and you can do puzzles like crosswords and math puzzles.

If you measure your intelligence through an IQ test like many do, you may believe that intelligence can be increased because memory has a lot to do with the tests.

Interesting study, but the interpretations are very questionable. Not something to give too much significance to as there the correlations being drawn between training and intelligence have very little causal support or evidence. While training does cause changes in the brain (everything does) this article ignores what actually happens and tries to draw some loose correlations from the data. This is not a complete dismissal of the study, I just wouldn't get too excited about the implications this article seems to highlight.
