ReplyDeleteI read an interesting subject in a magazine, I send it for you, if you like it save it in your weblog
If you are like most people, you may think intelligence changes from season to season. You are probably sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the yea .A scientist, Ellsworth Huntington (1876-1947), could understand from research about people in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.
He found that cool weather is better for creative thinking than summer heat .this does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year . However, it means that the mental abilities of most people are lower in the summer.
So, spring is the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring people’s mental abilities are effected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature. Fall is the next best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time for them to take a long vacation from thinking!
