People who have a high IQ is not only smarter, but also process sensory information differently. It makes their brain work more efficiently than others.
The scientists found that the brains of people with high IQs are more selective automatically when observing moving objects. That means the motion of the lack of relevant background will most likely be ignored. The findings, reported in the journal Current Biology that published May 23, 2013.
"It does not mean people with high IQ better in visual perception," says Duje Tadin from the University of Rochester. "However, they are more discriminating visual perception. They excel in viewing moving objects are small, but should strive to observe the motion of an object is greater."
The study was conducted by asking a group of people watching a video that shows a rod moving on a computer screen. Their task was to indicate whether the rod moves to the left or to the right. The researchers measured how long the video should be run before the individual can say the movement correctly.
The test results showed that individuals with high IQ can capture the movement of small objects faster than the individual who has a low IQ. "It was unexpected," Tadin said.
The surprise came when the tests with larger objects indicate otherwise. Individuals with high IQs were more than the fact that right in front of them. "There's something about the brains of individuals with high IQ that prevents them quickly see the motion of large objects," Tadin said.
By Tadin, the ability to block distractions is very useful in a world flooded with more information than what we can receive. That helps explain what makes some brains are more efficient than others. "An efficient brain must be smart in choosing." *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | FOXNEWS.COM | DAILY MAIL | PSYPOST | ERWIN Z | KORAN TEMPO 4244]
