Bella is a 4-year-old little girl from Moscow who speaks 7 languages fluently (Russian, French, Chinese, German, Arabic, Spanish, and English). She can also read them. :o

So am I. She has a guaranteed job at the UN in New York.

In touch with the multi dimensional self.

not necessarily. She is trained from birth to develop that part of her brain that handles language (very specific brain areas, 3 of them). Those areas must be overdeveloped by now. She may lose the agility she has if she stop practicing, since the brain does some pruning later on, with age (taking away the neuronal connections that are under used, so he must keep practicing). This is almost entirely trained cognition based in my views.

One thing one must know is that European countries are much more stringent in their children training than American, and yet, Japanese still more.

Nevertheless, she is a very sweet little girl.

I live in a multicultural city, those mastering 5 languages is not that rare, mostly if they started young, but 7 is. What is surprising is that she had Indo-European languages, than Arabic and of course Russian, from different language roots. Much more difficult to handle for older learners.

Saw this several months ago. A Very bright Starseed indeed is She. If i may utilize that label.

Amazing , I just binged watched Sense8 and it reminded me a bit of that
in a odd way.....

It was not just the languages but how did a four year old know the Q & A's ....:confused:

Really amazing, that such a young brain can assimilate so much information. Not only languages in all their complexities, but how many four year olds would identify a stegosaurus, or tell you the centre of the solar system is the sun? Probably not many even know what the solar system is at that age.

Then what's really amazing is that at 4 yr she can read some of these languages. l think that she is amazing.

Amazing that a 2-yr-old managed to lift that dresser to free his twin brother. What's even more amazing is that he used a very logical trial-and-error system to do this.

My ex-wife had a girl that spoke 4 languages at a very young age. The ex was fluent in German and English. The husband in Italian and the housekeeper in Spanish. All spoke to her in their native language and by 4 or 5 the kid was speaking them all quite well. During the formative, development years a child can learn most anything. Past 6 years, when the brain switches to Beta waves, it becomes more difficult.

Thanks for this thread. The study of prodigies is more than fascinating. This page may make one stop and think for a while...e

My favorite story: little Micheal Kearney told his doctor at the age of 6 months: "I have a left ear infection". At round about the same time, long before he could walk, sitting in his Mom's shopping cart, he was adding up the totals of all the supermarket items in his head before getting to the checkout. (What's he doing now? He's an improv comedian...)

Then the point of there being about 10,000 genetic markers regarding neural development.

And the note on cognitive capacities vs IQ tests. If you follow what they say..we're looking at very sharp changes in cognition/rumination times, when we deal with IQ differences.

https://brainsize.wordpress.com/2014/07/16/forget-iq-scores-a-shocking-new-scale-for-measuring-intelligence/

If one looks at what is being said, it is difficult to argue the point, as most people simply don't have the lobes to argue it. (A very vulcanish statement, but it is what it is)

It illustrates that seemingly unfathomable 'speed' aspect to cognition. How a high intelligence kid like Micheal Kearney could end up doing improv.

To do improv, and deal with hecklers, one has to be very mentally fast. One has to out think and 'end run', psychologically speaking, the given heckler.

Another aspect, is health, physical health is important when IQ starts to shoot though the seeming roof. That brain needs fuel and other support.

We'll be able to do genetic modifications on this aspect of IQ, quite soon... I suspect. At least as much as public open science goes.

High IQ is not rewarding as one might think, though. It's stigmatization/ostracization on a level which most have no idea is possible to have exist.

Most high IQ people learn to hide, to present a normal seeming front. Or at least to assess their given compatriots and interactions of the moment and mirror back something that fits the environment. As a method of staying off the radar.

Alcohol and/or drug addicted isolated loner braniacs --abound. A common issue set for the highly intelligent.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Let do a quick calculation on seeming impossibilities.

Let say one has an IQ of 180. and another has an IQ of 115.

And the person with the IQ 115, has a university degree in a given science.

The person with the IQ of 180, is untrained.

This 'IQ difference' amounts to a so-called 65 IQ points. According to the formula, that's 13 halvings of contemplation time.

The university graduate and specialist takes 100 days to reach a scientific conclusion on a given subject.

The High IQ person, with no training in the given area, has a cognitive speed differential, that makes it so their given cognitive speed is capable of taking them to conclusion faster than the university grad..by....99.61 days.

Thus, even if the high IQ person is completely unschooled in the university grad's subject area...it illustrates that the unschooled could very very likely completely out-think the university grad, in university grad's own area of expertise.

The highly intelligent person has been puttering along at that high rate their entire life, so they may not be an expert in the given area, but their general knowledge and capacities will give them insight that the university grad will not have considered in many years of thinking. It's not just the single subject of the given 'contest in cognition', it concerns what the entire complex scenario is built out of.

So, to be generous, the unschooled person might out-think the university grad, in the grad's own area of expertise, in 3-4-5 days, instead of the grad's required 100 days. The high IQ person will also...live on, at that given high rate, always moving at that given high rate.

The logic is straightforward..but.. that cognitive rate thing steps in... and creates difficulties.
