Native intelligence is largely a hereditary trait. This allows a high learning ability which allows a better and deeper understanding of lessons, through school or by experience, and faster acquisition of skills and knowledge with less effort and repetition. Although intelligence is preferable in students, good training principles also plays a major part in learning. This is why the scientific method, used in observations and experimentation, has long been emphasized to students of science as a form of cognitive training that is attuned to good observation skills and data gathering. The scientific method emphasizes repeatable experiments with observations compared with many control measures that exclude random effects. This makes for many repetitions of observations that require hard work. Edison has once said that,”Success is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration”. Thus, repetition and hard work is the key to success in any endeavor.
Understanding something makes that something easier to use. Often understanding something requires repeated attempts. However, once understanding has occurred, using that something become more efficient and results are attained faster. Thus, repetition is the core of brain exercise. It tunes the brain to accept and process new information better and faster which positively affects learning and therefore “applied” intelligence.
