A film on OhioLINK. For decades, IQ tests have been the gold standard for measuring intelligence. But is one standardized test really adequate for every taker? This program advocates a different approach, creating an array of unusual challenges to assess brainpower and positing an argument for the interplay of multiple intelligences. Assisted by the insights of Harvard's Howard Gardner and experts using brain scanning technology at UC Davis' M.I.N.D. Institute, the program brings together a group of obviously bright and talented people and presents them with trials of all shapes and sizes. The results establish the validity of measuring not just what people know but also the equally important ways in which they exercise their practical, creative, emotional, and kinesthetic IQs.

A film on OhioLINK. Eager for knowledge, a child is by nature curious about everything. Why, then, is school such an unpleasant place for some children? In this program, teachers, researchers, a psychoanalyst, a neurologist, a neurobiologist, a psychomotor specialist, and others examine the process of learning and the classroom as a learning center. Mastery of reading and writing, the key to unlocking all forms of communication and the entry point to many other exciting domains, is emphasized. In addition, the concept of multiple intelligences is explored. (52 minutes, color)

This is an article/study that explain the history/study that explains the history of the Mozart Effect and the experiment being conducted by Cristy Ho, Oliver Mason and Charles Spence. The main purpose for the Mozart Effect was to improve people's intelligence, however that wasn't the intention that was used for this particular study. Their purpose was to determine whether the Mozart Effect was for the "visual attentional blink", also known as AB, which provide dynamics of visual attention.

Lynn Waterhouse's article summarizes evidence for three cognitive theories, one including the "Mozart Effect" theory. Since I was doing this project about the Mozart Effect, I figured I'll pay more attention on the passage concentrating more on MI. In the review, it discusses the history of the method as well as evidence showing how effective this is. It also talks about the Mozart Effect as an arousal tool, that Mozart music creates excitement. Like many of the sources that I'm using, this source also presents that some researchers disconfriming the evidence of this method.

This article starts off explaining brief history on the Mozart Effect and how it influence the way the mind and music connect together. Will Dowd, the author, also goes on explaining Don Campbell, who wrote the "The Mozart Effect or Children". Dowd uses an example for Campbell's book explaining " Mozart's music enhance the network of connection forming in the infant brain." Towards the end of the article, Dowd explain how there are scientists out there that feel that the Mozart Effect is ineffective.
