Abstract

Research in the psychological and brain sciences are constantly reevaluating the embodiment of human intelligence, seeking to better understand the convergence of the diverse array of differences in intellectual abilities and the variety of neurobiological mechanisms that drive this overall impact on an individual. The Network Neuroscience Theory of Human Intelligence, brain networks, differences between fluid and crystalized intelligence, pattern separation, memory encoding, and how a person’s genetics intersects with their environment are all critical components that drive the overall impact on an individual’s intelligence.
