1 .		Problem solving skills are correlated with brain activity in the frontal cortex. Have neuroscientists found the "seat of intelligence" in the brain? Why or why not? Does reduced brain activity in certain regions necessarily predict low intelligence? What other factors might be at work?   To create paragraphs in your essay response, type <p> at the beginning of the paragraph, and </p> at the end.
2 .		Theories of intelligence can be divided into "lumpers" and "splitters;" that is, theories that emphasize a single general intelligence versus those that emphasize multiple types of intelligence. Approaches to understanding the brain lump and split as well; some emphasize the overall coordinated action of the brain whereas others focus on brain activity in specific regions. How does the current research inform lumping and splitting in both domains? Does finding evidence of brain activity related to general problem-solving skills preclude finding evidence of other, more specific abilities? Why or why not?   To create paragraphs in your essay response, type <p> at the beginning of the paragraph, and </p> at the end.
