Environment and intelligence are two closely related aspects of human well-being. The impact of environment on intelligence is one of the most important factors in understanding human group differences in IQ test scores and other measures of cognitive ability.
Training
Training at an early age reduces synaptic pruning, which helps save neurons.
Musical
Early musical training in children are said to improve IQ. However, a study claimed that musical training improves verbal, but not spatial IQ. Significant differences in brain structure between musicians and non-musicians have been found.
Studies have shown that listening to Mozart before taking an IQ test will improve scores. This is called the Mozart Effect.
Chess
Studies shown that Chess, a game which requires spatial skills, improves spatial reasoning. A German study found that while Garry Kasparov has an IQ of 135, although he has a spatial IQ of 190. One study found that students who were on a chess class have improved mathematical and comprehension performance.
