introduction: intelligence is the ability of using the different powers and effective behaviors or adapting to new situations or diagnosing conditions and qualities of the environment. it seems that a considerable damage to the brain as a result of premature birth in the last weeks of pregnancy in the maturational - structuring process of the brain can be correlated with intelligent quotient (i...

Recent studies (e.g. Dawson et al., 2007) have reported that autistic people perform in the normal range on the Raven Progressive Matrices test, a formal reasoning test that requires integration of relations as well as the ability to infer rules and form high-level abstractions. Here we compared autistic and typically developing children, matched on age, IQ, and verbal and non-verbal working me...

This paper discusses a new flight test facility at MIT known as the Real-time indoor Autonomous Vehicle test ENvironment (RAVEN) which enables the exploration of aggressive aerobatic flight with relatively low risk. A key feature of this work is that the control algorithms are often the limiting factor because the flight dynamics are highly nonlinear and not well known, and they can change with...

The Random Access, Visualization and Exploration Network (RAVEN) aims to allow for the storage, analysis and visualisation of peta-bytes of scientific data in (near) real-time. In essence, RAVEN is a huge distributed and parallel system. While testing of distributed systems, such as huge telecommunication systems, is well understood and performed systematically, testing of parallel systems, in ...

Reasoning The abstract reasoning was assessed using Ravens Advanced Progressive Matrices (Raven, Court, & Raven, 1994) Set I and Set II. Also, this test gives us a measure of the general Intelligence quotient (IQ) of the participants in the study. The number of correct respons-

Abstract reasoning refers to the ability analyze information, discover rules at an intangible level, and solve problems in innovative ways. Raven's Progressive Matrices (RPM) test is typically used examine capability of abstract reasoning. The subject asked identify correct choice from answer set fill missing panel bottom right RPM (e.g., a 3×3 matrix), following underlying inside matrix. Recen...

John Raven is Boyd Baxter Professor of Biology at the University of Dundee. He studied botany at the University of Cambridge, and stayed on for a PhD in plant biophysics with an exceptionally insightful scientist and mentor, Professor Enid MacRobbie. His research at Dundee is centred on how organisms acquire and manipulate resources from their environment with particular emphasis on photosynthe...
