Self-estimates of intelligence (SEI), which influence to what extent people engage in and how well they perform at a task, are subject to distortion. Here, the distortion effects of individual differences in intelligence (IQ), gender, and proximal (with reference to test performance) and distal (with reference to IQ score distributions) assessments of SEI were tested in a sample of 200 British ...

OBJECTIVE Cognitive reserve has been proposed as important in the etiology of neuropsychiatric disorders. However, tests of the association between premorbid IQ and adult mental disorders other than schizophrenia have been limited and inconclusive. The authors tested the hypothesis that low childhood IQ is associated with increased risk and severity of adult mental disorders. METHOD Participa...

Objective: The present study compared results on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) among adult patients with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD) and those with Asperger’s disorder (AD). Method: WAIS-R results were compared between 16 adults with AD/HD (8 men and 8 women; mean age, 33.81 years; mean full-scale IQ, 101.5) and 15 adults with AD (12 men and 3 women...

PURPOSE To determine the amplitude of pseudoaccommodation and higher-order aberrations with three types of implanted monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs): aspheric yellow (IQ); spheric yellow (NT); and spheric clear (AT). SETTING Department of Ophthalmology, Nara Medical University, Nara, Japan. METHODS We studied 60 patients who underwent small incision phacoemulsification with the implanta...

RATIONALE The present study aims: (i) to determine how well developmental milestones at 4, 8, 12 and 24 months may predict IQ at 5-6 years old, (ii) to identify cognitive domains during the first two years that best predict later IQ and (iii) to determine whether children with IQ in the normal range at 5-6 years old may differ from disabled (IQ < 70) and gifted children (IQ > 130) with regard t...

WiMAX systems are very popular in wireless communication now-a-days. The main reason behind its popularity is high data rates possible in WiMAX systems. But due to in-phase quadrature imbalance (i.e. IQ imbalance) at the transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx), the system performance may be degraded in WiMAX systems. Therefore, it is necessary to compensate for the in-phase quadrature imbalance. In ...

Schellenberg (2004) investigated whether music lessons improved IQ scores in young children in a pretest-posttest design. Six-year-old children were assigned to one of four treatment groups: keyboard instruction, Kodaly vocal instruction, drama instruction, or no lessons for 36 weeks during the school year. All groups showed a significant increase in IQ scores over the year, A small, significan...

Whether the machine intelligence can surpass the human intelligence is a controversial issue. On the basis of traditional IQ, this article presents the Universal IQ test method suitable for both the machine intelligence and the human intelligence. With the method, machine and human intelligences were divided into 4 major categories and 15 subcategories. A total of 50 search engines across the w...
