does music improve your IQ level?...?

Definately, think back to when you were a child, what did your parents provide you to help you learn to talk & understand? YEP the all mighty nursery rhymes.Nursery rhymes, lullabies & music have been passed on from generation to generation because they have elements that are attractive to children who are in the process of learning language. These are valuable teaching tools & all children learn these traits from an early age throuout their lifetime. Music is used as a vehicle to illustrate language development to foster children's language acquisition.

There have been several experiments to see if this was the case.  The first one stated that classical music helped plants grow much better then other forms of music.  However, more experiments since then have shown that there is no link to plant growth.

Yes it has been shown in scienctific studioes that plant sod react to music. and other sounds.\nPlants that were subject to smoothing low sound sof music wer efound to grow better and healthier than those with loud blaring music(these did worse) and those with no music.\nI read of the test first about 20 yrs a go but this i sthe first response to that study I have ever seen. \nThanks I alway wondered about the study if it was still ongoing.and will look into it if I get the time.

Well, depending on what kind of "mentally challenged" you mean, the answer could be yes or no.\n\nThere are several kinds of neurological disorders that result in a brain that is simply differently wired, with IQs in the normal range or higher. Because the brain is extremely adaptable, it will often compensate for deficits in one area by making other areas work more efficiently. That's why a blind person often has very good hearing: He doesn't have any visual input to process; so his brain specializes on the next most informative sense: Hearing.\n\nSome disorders are like that. ADHD is associated with originality; autism with very good visual-spatial skills; bipolar disorder with creative talent, especially in the arts. So people with these disorders are also more likely to have talents that people without them don't have. People with these disorders look at them as mixed blessings, or even as gifts.\n\nI don't know what it's like to be anyone but myself; so I don't know which disorders other than my own (Asperger Syndrome, a mild form of autism) fit into the category I just described. And I do consider AS to be a gift, in some ways. I'm socially clumsy, and I can't tolerate some sensory input; but I also have very good logical reasoning skills, I approach problems in original ways, and I have quite a lot of talents in my areas of special interest.\n\nBut all in all, people with psychological, neurological, or biological isorders that affect their mental functioning have one big problem: They are square pegs trying to fit into round holes. They are not the majority; so the world is not designed for them. It could be prejudice or the need for accomodations or some aspect of the disorder itself; but being ill-suited for the world you live in can be a difficult thing. Even your talents may not be the sort of thing the world is looking for.\n\nRegarding people with low IQs and severe disorders with no positive aspects. Individual personalities may indeed make them feel superior to others, just as neurologically average people may feel superior to people in general, whether their IQs are higher or lower than their own; but that seems to be a personality trait unconnected to any disorder.\n\nFrom what I can tell, all but the most profoundly affected are aware that they are different; but in a loving family, with good support and the accomodations they need to live in the world, they need not feel inferior or unwanted. These folks have the same goal that any of us have--the pursuit of happiness, in whatever form that takes for them; and why should a happy life ever be called an inferior one?

No, music does not effect how we live.  It may affect how we live. but it doesn't effect anything.  Go back to your dictionary.

It's completely possible. There are some people who are born with an aptitude for it, but those people are few and far between.  Most professional musicians aren't "born with it" per se, but work very hard and become better at what they do.  These people will never be looked upon as the greatest musicians of our time, but a living they will make.  Some people (Mozart, Beathoven, Lennon, Clapton, etc.) have undeniable God given abilities, but if you committ yourself to it, anything is possible.

Yes, of course.\n\nYour brain is like a lot of muscles - if untrained, it works less well.\n\nWith regular training and thinking, especially "thinking around the bend" or "thinking out of the box" you will boost your capacity.\n\nProbably, even with the best training you won't reach the brain capacity of Einstein, but you will notice great improvements.

Yes, it does.  Rock music helps me relax and it also has helped me study.  Concerts are the best; I come away filled with profound thoughts (and no, it's not all the weed being smoked).

studies find that listening to classical music boosts your ability to think, raising test scores.

What?\n\nYou know it depends on muscle memory or music, do you like what you are trying to remember? Is it important. All factors, yo.

So, your skill is awesome, eh?? ^_^\n\nMaybe you can teach me a thing or two, btw I try to find someone who can play a lot of musical instrument and have a great sense of music. I don't want to be cocky, but I'm 18 years old boy and I know a lot of classical music. I've been playing guitar for 3 years and I have made a lot of songs. But I don't publish it, and mostly I forgot it after 6-7 days. ^_^\n\nBut I want to find someone who have a great sense of music, because all my friends know how to sing, to play musical instrument, but doesn't have a sense. Just play it like a copycat, and honestly, I don't like it....

No -- a gifted child might have exceptional intellect, but they still need to socialize and interact with kids of all developmental stages.  Just because a kid is smart doesn't mean they should only play with other super smart kids.  Plus, any sort of segregation really never benefits anyone.

IQ is a controversial thing. I personally don't believe you can measure a persons intelligence by looking at the scores of a test they did one day. Many factors could come into play such as the person being ill or not focused on the test. You can make yourself smarter just by exercising your brain like you would exercise any other part of you. Read or watch documentaries Test your maths skills and problem solving, look up random words in a dictionary to increase your vocabulary, look at encyclopedias and learn about history and other facts about the world. It's not as boring as it sounds. Especially once you get older and you can use your knowledge in conversations and your mathematics will be helpful in any form of occupation.

I dont think there is such a thing as an intelligence measure. To be honest, it is something that changes within time, as you gain knowledge as life goes on of the different concepts of study and life. One can also loose this knowledge, such as memory lose,  even if they * had a high IQ*. .. Sure it helps you to measure your intelligense at that second of life, but it will change, maybe in an hour or in a day. The more you excersise your brain with challrnguing questions, the more your views will extend.
