small wonders

Many scientists have studied about whether prodigies are made or are inborn. But they can not yet explain that question.

Prodigies faster learn about thing than do ordinary people. For example, Son learn how to play chess game by merely careful observation and he became Vietnam’s youngest champion.

Scientists have long suspected and believed that prodigies are affected by cultural and biological factors and they are different from common people. Surely, prodigies have excelled abilities in many respects. Ordinary children can not do and focus on something in which children have interested. Prodigies do not so. They can spend much time on fields interested. Also researcher have studies about prodigies’’ brains by fMRI. Some startling factors are found. Compared with common child, prodigies have brains with six to seven times more metabolic activity in the right side of their brains and heightened activity in the frontal lobes. Average children never can utility this part of brain. But prodigies are different. They freely can do. Scientist believe that prodigies can muster the mental resources necessary to solve problems and learn and protect distractions and switch every efficiently between the brain’s left and right.

Many experts have argued that prodigies are nature and nurture. However, many strongly agree that prodigies are half born and made. This means that parents are important role raising prodigies.
