EXAMINING THE CORRELATION BETWEEN HEAD SIZE AND INTELLIGENCE QUOTIENT (IQ) AMONG ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Аннотация

This study investigates the potential correlation between head size and Intelligence Quotient (IQ) among elementary school students. The research aims to explore whether variations in head circumference, as a proxy for brain size, are associated with differences in cognitive abilities, as measured by standardized IQ tests. A sample of elementary school students underwent anthropometric measurements to assess head circumference, while their IQ levels were assessed using validated cognitive assessment tools. Statistical analyses were employed to examine the relationship between head size and IQ scores, controlling for potential confounding variables such as age, gender, and socio-economic status. The findings contribute to the understanding of neurodevelopmental factors influencing cognitive performance in children and have implications for educational and clinical practice.
