A wave of fresh scientific insight is reshaping how educators, parents, and society at large understand intelligence—not as a fixed trait, but as an adaptable, multi-dimensional capacity that can be nurtured across a person’s lifetime. Drawing from recent research published in Psychology Today and the seminal work “Tenacity in Children,” experts now argue that intelligence, far from being etched in stone, is instead an evolving skill—a product of both genetic wiring and environmental influences—that can be cultivated through focused strategies in school and home environments (Psychology Today).

A new international brain imaging study has shed light on how sudden moments of insight—often called “aha! moments”—not only feel exhilarating, but also play a profound role in reshaping the brain and boosting memory. This research, led by neuroscientists from Duke University in the US and Humboldt and Hamburg Universities in Germany, provides compelling evidence that these flashes of creative discovery strengthen learning and may have important implications for educational practices, including those in Thailand (medicalxpress.com).
