| Increasing Fluid Intelligence Is 100% Possible
Dr Robert Sternberg, Professor of Psychology, Yale and Tufts University. USA.
Findings: Research has shown that testing IQ and intelligence quotient can fluctuate depending on various stimuli. The claim that IQ can't be increased as actually totally baseless, since improvements in fluid intelligence, which is the raw component of IQ, can be grown through working memory.

Dr. Tomas Ros, Postdoctoral Fellow. Lawson Research Institute. Western Ontario University, Canada.
Dr Diane Ruge, Research Fellow. Institute of Neurology, University College, London, UK
Findings: It was found through the research of the above academics that brainwave training can create permanent changes in the structure of the brain. Neurofeedback makes the brain more plastic and susceptible to change. This means that the brain can indeed change its structure, meaning IQ increase and enhanced mental ability is 100% possible when the right stimulation is provided.

Improving Fluid Intelligence With Training On Working Memory
Professor John Jonides, Weintraub Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience, University Of Michigan, USA.
Professor Walter J. Perrig, Professor for Experimental Psychology and Neuropsychology, University of Bern, Germany.
Dr Susanne Jaeggi, Research Fellow, Department of Psychology and Neuroscience. University of Michigan, USA.
Dr Martin Buschkuehl, Research Fellow, Cognition and Cognitive Neuroscience, University Of Michigan, USA.
Findings: Improving working memory can improve fluid intelligence, which is the technical name for raw IQ. This means that working your memory in a specific way, as we teach, can have a significant impact on your overall intelligence level. Their experiment used a special multi-tasking exercise which stimulated the brain in unique ways. We have harnessed this technique and made it even better.

Can Nutritional Supplements Help Mentally Retarded Children To Improve IQ?
Dr. Ruth Harrell, Old Dominion University, Virginia, USA
Dr. Ruth Capp, Duke University, University Of Arizona Medical School, USA
Dr. Donald Davis, Clayton Foundation Biochemical Institute, University Of Texas. USA.
Dr Donald Ravitz, University of Yale, USA.
Findings: It was shown that nutritional supplements can help improve mental performance, by fixing any nutritional deficiencies which can impair cognition. This study was geared towards children but the implications are applicable everywhere.

Dr. Michel Duyme, Neurogenetic Lab, University of Paris, France
Dr. Annick-Camille Dumaret, Loughborough University, UK.
Dr. Stanislaw Tomkiewicz, University Of Paris, France
Findings: It was found that specific exercises could bolster mental performance of children who had low IQ's. This shows that mental exercise can affect IQ

Professor Michael Posner, Institute of Cognitive and Decision Sciences, University of Oregon
Dr Rosario Rueda, Department Of Psychology, University of Oregon, USA
Dr Mary Rothbart, Sackler Institute For Developmental Psychobiology, Cornell University, USA

EEG Biofeedback Training For Attention Deficit Disorder, Specific Learning Disabilities and Associated Conduct Problems
Dr. Siegfried Othmer, President of the Neurofeedback Division of the Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback, USA.
Dr. Susan Othmer, Clinical Director EEG Institute, California, USA.
Dr Clifford Marks, Clinical Psychologist, USA
Findings: It was found that the average IQ improvement from using specific mental training exercises was 23 IQ points. An optimal and specific hertz frequency of training (as measured by the EEG) was also detected. This means that IQ can indeed be increased with the right stimulus.

The aim of the above studies is to provide information on those interested in knowing more about how IQ increase and mental development has been researched and is continuing to be researched in the academic world.
