Differences of our visual ability and IQ
For the first time, researchers show that the differences in people’s visual ability and their IQ.
“People may think they can tell how good they are at identifying objects visually,” said Isabel Gauthier, David K. Wilson Professor of Psychology at Vanderbilt University, who headed the study. “But it turns out that they are not very good at evaluating their own skills relative to others.”
In earlier studies, researchers focus on visual object recognition, but the new study explains about the visual ability varies among individuals.
Novel Object Memory Test
However, researchers develop a Novel Object Memory Test (NOMT), to measure people’s ability to identify unfamiliar objects.
While testing on 100 people, researchers found that participants consider the visual tasks as different from other tasks related to general intelligence. Also, they feel less variation in people’s visual skills than non-visual skills, such as verbal and math ability.
