"Eureka Method", method to increase IQ

[Christelle]

:-) Thanks alot for your compliments ! It's very nice from you !

Since a long time, it had been scientifically proved by neural researchs, that mental activity of LEARNING, increased neural connections in the areas of the brain that are correlated with those learnings (for instance, the areas which are related with physics, area that are correlated with Latin...).

But, Eureka improvement isn't an increased of knowledges. It's not easy to explain... Eureka improvement is an increase in brain power for solving logical problems (items of IQ tests, or other riddles...). Thanks to Eureka improvement, you can solve more quickly logical problems. And, thanks to this Eureka improvement, you can also solve more and more difficult logical problems.

Christelle,

It's very difficult to prove whether or not there is a knowledge component in the Eureka (or any other) method. The difference between knowledge and intelligence can be quite blurry.

Imagine if you practiced memorizing 12 digit numbers. After a while you start becoming faster and more reliable, and perhaps you are able to quickly memorize 15 digit numbers. Is that an improvement in brain-power or knowledge? The two are very closely related. You know what information to look for and what to ignore. You find ways to quickly and reliably "store" information. You may find yourself improving at other memory tasks.

Logic also contains a strong knowledge component. Familiarity with certain types of questions will allow you to handle similar questions more and more easily. If a question is highly similar to a familiar type, then the benefit is maximized. If a question is only slightly similar, then there will be a small benefit.

:-) Hello !


I'm not a neurologist... lol..

I personally think that Eureka improvement is an increase of brainpower.

Hello

What I personnally call « Eureka Effect » isn’t exactly what is said in the Wikipedia link just below, but the fact that those Eureka flashs entail an IQ increase. In fact, I didn’t know until a few minutes that I’ve just googled “Eureka Effect”, that this expression already existed before my discovery of Eureka Method.
