Like father like son

Living in a family setting culturally elevated  allows to develop  excellent verbal, mathematical and logical skills. A thesis by no means original, however, finally it has been confirmed in a detailed scientific study by a team of Spanish researchers coming from different University throughout the Iberian country. The survey, conducted on more than 2000 children, is based on a test similar to the one that calculates the average IQ, but in this case it is related to the parental level of study and type of occupation. Result? The probability of high yield offspring coming from a family with high cultural standards are 1.7 times higher than those belonging to an environment with low educational levels. In general, therefore, this is the proof that the socio-economic factors have an influence on brain development of adolescents.
