Confidence intervals (CI) are used to assess the true difference in risk between two groups, and usually accompany ratio values such as odds ratios, hazard ratios and ‘observed versus expected’ ratios. A 95% CI suggests that there is a 95% chance that the real difference between two groups is within this interval. If a 95% CI does not cross 1, the ratio is regarded as statistically significant.

This study identifies a three-way relationship between functional connectivity, cortical thickness, and positive subjective traits (e.g., life satisfaction, intelligence quotient) or negative behaviors (e.g., aggression, anger). Neurological ImpairmentThis is a broad term used to mean difficulties are due to a brain disorder. It may be a child or adult.Please take a few minutes to read our short Introduction page about labels. It has a similar structure to dopamine and is able to cross the blood-brain barrier and pass into the brain, where it is converted into dopamine by the enzyme dopa-decarboxylase.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) / Obsessive BehavioursOCD is a diagnosable medical condition where a person feels unable to control a compulsion to do things repeatedly or organise things is a very rigid way. There are many on-line resources about OCD including from the UKs NHS Website, click here.Many with CVI struggle to find things. To help people with CVI find things, they need them to stay where they are, so they can remember where to find them (because looking is difficult). This can lead to the person becoming very particular about things not being moved, to the point where the behaviour may be considered obsessive. This is different from the condition OCD, although potentially could lead to it over time, however we are unaware of any such recorded cases at present.

• The areas of the brain which light up on the fMRI scan will indicate the brain regions which are involved in facial recognition.
• Cheerleaders of authors and illustrators everywhere, the leading book recommendation websites now feature an online bookstore with social purpose where 25% of money spent can be donated to a school close to the buyer’s heart, or to schools in need.
• Finally the lowest brain frequency is the «delta» wave state (equivalent to sleep) which also has importance in learning but will not be covered here.
• This increases serotonin levels in the brain and increases the frequency of nerve impulses along neurones in brain regions which are involved in mood.

With intellectual disabilities, the measure is against a person with typical intellect, which cerebrumiq is measured with a test called the Intelligence Quotient (IQ). It is increasingly widely accepted that IQ is just one of many important measures of a person’s abilities, and does not include areas like social skills which are needed for development. Sometimes the term Intellectual Disability is used to mean a wider range of difficulties. Broader terms like Developmental Delay (above) may be used instead of Intellectual Disability. Global Developmental Delay (GDD)Where the term Global Developmental Delay is used, this means that the difficulties are across the whole of development.

Each «intelligence» can be thought of as a separate «microprocessor» inside our head. The phenomenon of true «genius» appears to come when many of these intelligences are well developed and used simultaneously. Part of the accelerated learning model is that information in a study session is presented in ways which address as many of the «intelligences» as possible. This not only makes retention and recall of information easier (there are many more «hooks» from which to get the information back out again) but it is continuously improving each intelligence skill. Those who want to know more should refer to Tony Buzan’s book «Use your Head». When you receive information from a typical spoken lecture, do you know how much and what information you recall during the lecture, at the end of the lecture and days or weeks afterwards?
