Psychology and Neuroscience have always fascinated me. The Brain is an amazing organ and I often find myself down the proverbial rabbit hole of reading about it. I recently felt inspired to create some fun pieces to share and allow me to continue down my curious path.
The special material used to piece together the brain is colored translucent vinyl. It is reminiscent of school day classroom lectures where overhead projectors were often used.
Crystallized intelligence includes learned procedures and knowledge. It reflects the effects of experience and acculturation. Examples of tasks that measure crystallized intelligence are vocabulary, general information, abstract word analogies, and the mechanics of language. Crystallized intelligence appears to be a function of brain regions that involve the storage and usage of long-term memories, such as the hippocampus.
