Skull Pressure Theory for Specific Types of Intelligence Discussed
There are some people who believe that a brain which gets worked out a lot and does a lot of thinking will become stronger and when the brain can no longer use of the excess cranial capacity it is forced to become thicker. A thicker brain has an advantage over a brain which is less dense.
What is very interesting is that often we call people who are not so smart or perhaps even ignorant, we call them dense. Actually it would be just the opposite as their density would be less, actually much less. This brings up another point about skull pressure theory.
If someone has a thin head and does a lot of spatial reasoning then this side of their brain would have to make up for this and become very dense. And a more dense brain or parts of the brain which are dense would correspond to the level of thinking that is capable in that portion of the brain.
If the spatial reasoning and visualization section of the brain becomes denser due to this limited area due to the interior shape and cranial capacity on the sides, then that person should be better at complex mathematics in spatial reasoning. Increased skull pressure would also increase the blood pressure inside the head and this too might change a person s ability to think. Too much pressure would cause headaches, but a little extra pressure might help tremendously.
There have been many studies on cranial capacity and head size with relation to IQ and although every individual human is different there seems to be a correlation as to the potential of an individual brain based on the shape of the skull and or the size of the Interior.
More research and study needs to be done to determine if the normal observations we have in society with regards to head shape and intelligence levels are actually true or merely urban myth.
