If you are born healthy your brain is constantly building new neurological pathways as you grow to an adult. A newborn cannot suddenly be as smart as an adult. If your brain didn't grow as you did you would not be able to learn things.
Intelligence is an evolutionary attribute, it is our species ability to be curious, but that does not make a newborn as in individual having the ability to adapt to all information and understand it at birth. Learning takes time, you don't have adult knowledge as an infant.
I think he is referring to the I.Q., which does not change.
No... I don't think I.Q. is an accurate measure of intelligence because it's too narrow.
I define intelligence to be an individual's maximum capacity for understanding and comprehension.
So when you're born... your intelligence is the potential of your brain... not your brain's current state.
Dumb people are never capable of understanding certain things. Intelligent children are just as intelligent as they will be when they're adults... their brain just hasn't developed yet. To say they're less intelligent just because their brain hasn't developed yet makes no sense to me. Their intelligence is relative to their age anyhow.
