I understand that you think boredom will lead to a bad memory...which is where I was trying to go with my previous post.If you read my question it read "Do you think that a bad memory could be the cause of boredom?" Which in essence is what you're saying too. He sometimes remembers things he enjoys...but even that in itself seems to be vague at times. Well, that's a given...that something we both know for sure I would love to know...so hopefully someone could answer this brilliant question...I myself will try and find out. It sure would make sense if that's the case. I agree that one needs the right kind of stimulation, yet whether stimulation can lead to a higher IQ I think is debatable...Because, no matter how much stimulation you get I think that it depends on your ability to memorise and understand as well. I mean, some people just can't grasp complex concepts. No matter how many times you go over it with them. People who have the ability to increase their IQ will be good candidates for such a study, thus making your point valid. But what happens to the rest that can't?

Ok, I have a question for you(anyone who would like to answer) . Do you think that a bad memory could be the cause of boredom? Could it be because certain people with a higher level of intelligence need more brain stimulation and that unstimulating events/things in general are just forgotten because it has little or no significant effect on the brain/person? Reason I ask this is because my husband is struggling with short term memory loss and he has one of the best memories I've ever seen in a human. So this is a little worrying, and I'm trying to decide whether it is neurological or if it's because his work isn't stimulating enough for his brain.
