Stupid IQ test

Here is another in the series of IQ’s Corner “IQ Test CHC DNA Fingerprint” test comparison series.

Interesting video discussing a connection between a disorder ( Parkinson’s ) clearly linked to problems with the brain clock (esp. dopamine and the basal ganglia ) and music/rhythm perception .

In IAP Research Report # 9 (B rain rhythm treatment efficacy:  Can we fine-tune our brain clocks ), it was concluded (after reviewing 23 studies) that “rhythm-based mental-timing treatments have merit for clinical use and warrant increased clinical use and research attention.”   Additionally, it was concluded that: Positive treatment outcomes were reported for four forms of rhythm-based treatment . Positive outcomes were also observed for normal subjects and, more importantly, across a variety of clinical disorders (e.g., aphasia, apraxia, coordination/movement disorders, TBI, CP, Parkinson’s disease, stroke/CVA, Down’s syndrome, ADHD) Most rhythm-based brain-based interventions (the RAS, AOS-RRT and SMT treatment studies) all employed some form of auditory-based metronome to pace or cue the subjects targeted rhythmic behavior. External metronome-based rhythm tools (tapping to a beat, metronome-based rhythmic pacing, rhythmic-cuing via timed pulses/beats) is a central tool to improving temporal processing and mental-timing.

Description from PAR web page. The PAR Assessment Toolkit was created to provide assistance to psychologists, mental health workers, and anyone else who administers standardized assessments. This toolkit features several helpful tools such as: • Normal curve - an illustration of a standard bell curve is included for use in discussion with patients or other professionals • Conversion chart - included to provide an error-free means of converting between t-scores, z-scores, percentiles, and standard score.
