Brain Freeze: Wired Up or Fried Out
|
|
|
- People are born with a fixed level of intelligence and it does not change over time.*
|
- By the time you become a teenager (11-12 years old) your brain's growth is complete. *
|
- The brain is a lot like muscles that grow larger and stronger when exercised. If you exercise your brain with reading and study it will grow stronger.*
|
- Binge drinking causes "holes" to form in the brain reducing mental ability.*
|
- The amount of sleep you have (or don't have) does not change how well your brain works.*
|
- I think that getting a good night's sleep can improve your memory of important things that you have learned.*
|
- I think that smoking cigarettes can actually shrink parts of the brain.*
|
- One thing that could happen to a person who does not get enough sleep is that they could become obese (way overweight).*
|
- There really is no use trying harder in school because it won't make you any smarter.*
|
- How intelligent you are is completely based upon the genes that you inherited from your parents and you can't change that.*
|
- If I knew that by working harder in school, my brain would become stronger and I would become more intelligent, then I would become serious about school.*
|
- The teenage brain is wired to take more risks than an adult's brain.*
