Is the intelligence a child receives somewhat based upon the intelligence of his/her parents? I often hear that since the parents are smart the child must be clever, is this reasonable? Is intelligence based genetically? Thank you.
Answers:
The most recent article I read discussing the inheritability of IQ suggested that 80%, came from your genetic back ground and 20 % from your environment. I would suspect a higher environment portion just from watching my own son.
Yes
why son of a korean couple isnt black? cus of their jeans.
i think height, color, attitude, face mentality everythin comes from inheritance
what do u think u are a Dr
The answer is both. They can both be major factors in the intelligence of a child. An interesting consideration would also be that intelligent parents regardless if they passed on their "good" genes may simply provide a more favorable environment for their children.
Not true. Einstein`s father, Srivas Rmanujam`s father , Alexander Fleming`s father were not known for their genius.
It's both nature and nurture.We all know clever parents who have clever kids. That supports the genetic side of the argument. Then again, clever parents sometimes have less (IQ type) intelligent kids.Then again, look up the Sociologists Rosenthal and Jacobsen who did a study in a school in the 1970s that proved that human expectations in a learning environment, can actually affect IQ levels.It also depends too, on what kind of intelligence you mean. There are a few. Practical, Mathematical, Verbal, Non-verbal, Emotional, Musical etc.
No, looks are passed down, but you're upbringing and education have too much to do with it. I'd say maybe yes if you were only talking about "potential" intelligence but you have to learn and/or be taught how to use it.need a current example? Goerge H.W. Bush is a smart guy. His son George W. Bush? well..I guess the jury is still out.
this is a common thought/belief as is the fruit does not fall far from the tree. as such it should not be minimized. we know many such observations are found to be factually true..
my thought: as genetic material from both parents is transferred to the baby, (eye,hair,height,color, teeth health and longevity) as well as diseases that rely on the genetic material from both parents to formulate a particular disease while it does not cause the disease effect(s) in each of the parents.
I say yes it is plausible that the propensity to be at a certain IQ (new standards testing) level can said tobe influenced by the parents genetic material demonstrated by "intelligence (in your example).
side note Blair (word search Blair, BBC news OCT 06) propose to stop problem children from becoming problem adults.. sounds good.. however his comments hint at pre-birth methods as well
It seems to be the case that intelligence has a genetic factor. This does not mean two geniuses will produce a genius child but the child has a good chance of being of above average "intelligence".Most experts will agree that environment and nutrition have a lot to do with it as well.
The genes passed on by the parents set the range of intelligence the child will have. The type of environment then sets the intelligence point on that range.A child with a low intelligence range, but that has a supportive and stimulating environment will have an IQ near the top end of their range.A child with a high intelligence range, lacking support and stimulation will place at the low end of their range.Think of it this way, when listening to a trumpet solo, who makes the music? The trumpet or the musician? Both, without one you won't be able to hear the music.
This has actually been a pretty heated topic for many years. From what I learned in college, it's a bit of both sides.
If your father has an IQ of 130, and your mother the same, then the potential for you to have a higher IQ is there, but the way you are raised, nutrition, and education play an important role as well.
No, my daughter is a very smart kid %26 I'm a very uneducated person. She did not get her brains from me or her father who is dumber than me
