Co-ordination determines brain power

- Thu, 20 Sep 2007


How good are you at playing tennis? Catching a ball? Good co-ordination appears to be an important marker of how intelligent we are according to a new study.

Richard Haier, who led the study at the University of California argues that human intelligence is not located in one single area of the brain but is a result of multiple areas of the brain working together.  Furthermore, how nimbly we can get the different areas of the brain to work together determines how smart we are.  Since physical co-ordination requires the brain and body to work together,  physical co-ordination is a good example of our brain's intelligence at work.

Brain scientists also know that skills such as physical co-ordination and even memory can be trained.  Headstrong Cognitiveoffers brain games which are aimed at improving memory, concentration and co-ordination. Regular mental 'work-outs' with scientifically developed brain games can protect the brain against age-related memory loss and stave off illnesses like Alzheimer's.
