Cognitive Intelligence

While the processing of signs is represented by IQ, cognitive scores also express learning ability. While there is clear evidence that some video games can cause psychological problems, cognitive scientists have found they also boost many's cognitive performance. This has been demonstrated by measuring their effect of increasing subjects' abilities to remember sets and pick things out of vistas; such factors increase ones abilities to locate information.1

Toxoplasmosis not only affects cognitive measurement but can also cause psychiatric symptoms. Chronic Toxoplasma gondii infection is identifiable by a serum antibody test. Its characteristic symptom is irrational outgoingness.
