    If working memory is like human RAM, then my brain has too many programs running at once. Attention span.exe has stopped responding.

    ​@@rohitkavathekar3701 What I do is repeat aloud a random list of words I made up and put on physical cards(from brainhq word list recall words). If you can only repeat aloud 5 words and repeat them back correctly, and can't do 6 words, for instance, what you can read aloud 3 words pause for 1-5 seconds then repeat aloud 3 more words. This allows your mind to absorb the information and not become overloaded(overload causes forgetfulness). Over time you pause for a smaller period of time and then you don't pause at all. I have only practiced using this method so I don't know just how good "regular" practice of just saying the words without a pause, but I suspect it to be not as effective. I can read aloud 8 words and repeat them back beginning to end without a pause(not every time of course). I started at 3 words the first day and went on to 4 words that day. I'm pretty happy with my progress. I also improved on digit span, and backwards digit span which is a measure of working memory. I'd classify this exercise as short term memory primarily, but it still is better than doing nothing. The exercise takes me 10 minutes a day for and probably in under 6 months you would reach your limit for that exercise. Though I'd say on it's own it's not that great of an exercise on it's own. I have been just started testing another memory exercise. It involves reading out loud and repeating 7 words for instance then adding one word at a time until reaching 15 words for instance. So going from 7 to 8 to 9 to 10 words repeating each step until you know the words. So far I've got up to 12 words pretty easily but it's my first day. My hypothesis is that I'll become more efficient at remembering a list of 15 words because I'll be more efficient at holding larger numbers of words in my head. The reason why I don't think the first exercise is not so great is because I repeat the words back and forget them after I say them. So I believe this exercise is going to be a game changer if done for months. This is because I used to not be able to read aloud 8 words and repeat them back from beginning to end. Now I can in just a day of practice which I still can't believe. The benefits I've noticed is that in conversation I can remember much more of what has been said without really trying that hard. It's easier for me to memorize words. Also it's easier for me to hold a definition in my head or read a longer sentence in a book and understand it. I don't have to reread sentences as much anymore. Also with studying geography, I can memorize in bigger chunks now. It depends but holding 4-6 states or countries in my mind is doable when before I was at 3. I am just being realistic though. Though I must say that this exercise is a 30 hour commitment, it's well worth the time in my opinion. Just don't expect great changes. Also I stopped doing the exercise and remained at the same level pretty much. However I'm getting back into it. I must say though the first exercise improves short term memory. Though it takes short term memory to commit information to long term memory. Hope it helps.

    You lost me when you connect working memory with intelligence. There is a whole group if individuals, called 2 e or twice exceptional, that are gifted/highly intelligent and have issues with working memory. They can use executive functioning systems that help support working memory and allow them to show how intelligent they are. I would challenge you to redefine intelligence.

    “Iq” as a proxy for general intelligence “g”, isn’t one number. When people say IQ, what they mean is FSIQ (full scale IQ), which is a type of weight average of Perceptual reasoning index (PRI), Verbal Comprehension Index(VCI), Working memory index (WMI) and Processing Speed Index (PSI). The issue is that this is not widely understood in talking about how we measure intelligence. Oftentimes, when you just measure one of those scores (PRI is easiest) you will understand your FSIQ as every other index is normally within ~5 points of each other. A measureable issue can arise when one of these indices are noticeably different than the other (significant standard deviation beyond 3 deviations), such as ADHD having a significantly lower WMI in comparison to the other indices. What can shed light for you is General Ability index (GAI) and Cognitive Proficiency Index (CPI), GAI is one half of FSIQ, as it’s the weighted average of just PRI and VCI, what this measures if the full potential of some ones intelligence, and on the flip side CPI is a weighted average of WMI and PSI which indicated how well someone can use their potential intelligence. 2e illustrates when high GAI is not matched with CPI. ADHD separates GAI and CPI more than most people, but high IQ ADHD is a prime example of the degree of separation, which can be called 2e. I hope this helps.

    @@rise4901 there’s a lot of genetic and physiological controls that are at play, so you really can’t improve them. What ends up happening is that you can just memorize the “problem solving strategy” of various problems. This is why you can score higher on an Iq test by doing them repeatedly, but if you stop for 6 months (which is required for an iq to be valid) the score is back to your base intelligence. It’s simultaneously the most statistically robust concept in psychology, and kind of damning in that we are stuck with what ever intelligence our brain allows us to have. So to actually answer, lol, would be keep on top of problem solving strategies and some drugs have the effect of countering physiological oddities in the brain. (Which is why adhd is prescribed stimulants, the working memory is stimulated to try to operate on the same level as the rest of the brain)

    @@rise4901 I’ve seen a lot of hand waving within psychology around 60% intelligence, 40% hard work, determines what you can do. Think of intelligence like a coefficient on how productive a given unit of work is, and the level of information retention/easy of information maintenance. Someone with 110 iq and 130 iq, can both be medical doctors, but the 110 will have to spend more workhours on information gathering, solving and maintence than the 130. But it’s also only a probability, as temperament and personality also add to fine tune this process (there’s a massive link between the amygdala and the prefrontal cortex, which is to simply say emotional investment in the intellectual problem maximizes your potential). So if the 130 MD, doesn’t care, they won’t work anywhere near their potential, but if the 110 iq doctor absolutely loves the job then then how they perform will be be better than the more “intelligent” doctor.

He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins.” - Romans 3:23-24 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son - John 3:16-18 They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved-you and your household.” - Acts 16: 31 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. - John 14:6 “ For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast.”-Ephesians 2:8-9. “What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.”- James 2:14-17 “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:17
