<\/a>In This Episode<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Can we actually get smarter?\u00a0 Is IQ as static and unchangeable as we’ve been taught?\u00a0 What is the path to getting smarter?\u00a0 Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on today’s podcast.<\/p>\n

Hey there Innovators!\u00a0 Today’s guest will challenge your perspective on the world!\u00a0 According to the late Dr. Reuven Feuerstein,<\/p>\n

“The chromosomes do not have the last word!”<\/p>\n

If you had the same biology textbooks and took the same developmental psychology classes I did in college, you were no doubt taught that IQ is a fixed quantity, independent of age and learning.\u00a0 I never did like that answer because I always felt like I wanted to know more, be more, do more.\u00a0 The idea of any fixed quantity bothered me then, and still grates against my optimistic view of the world.<\/p>\n

Well, recent research is beginning to give a scientific basis for the results achieved by Dr. Feuerstein and others who have believed for years that cognitive modifiability is real.\u00a0 Perhaps my grandma was onto something when she did that crossword puzzle from the newspaper every week.\u00a0 New research indicates that exercising the brain strengthens it just like the muscles in the body!\u00a0 This is great news for be because now I can train for higher performance, but it is particularly great news for those with traumatic brain injuries, learning disabilities, or other cognitive challenges.<\/p>\n

These new ideas underline more than ever, the advantages of practicing and training the native creativity in teenagers.\u00a0 We’d love to talk to you more about inspiring your teens to deeper questioning, higher problem solving, and broader creativity.\u00a0 Just visit InventingZone.com to learn more.<\/p>\n

Today’s guest is from the National Institute for Learning Development.\u00a0 Kristin Barbour has been working with traumatic brain injury cases for years and now serves as the executive director for NILD.\u00a0 Brace yourself for some unbelievable insights with Kristin on today’s interview.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
