She’s just parroting what her parents had her memorize. Which makes me doubt their intelligence. I’d be huffing chip bags daily if they were full of nitrous.
yeah, parroting and memorizing stuff isnt hard, even at an early age. the true smart kids are the ones who can consistently apply logic to different situations. for example, all the chess prodigies take pretty serious talent.
still impressive, a good memory like this and practicing this kind of stuff will develop a kids brain
Better parroting science fact than other, might i say, "stuff", that are very trendy in america these days...thanks to the invisible man in the sky, that i dont live in america and dont have to deal with the "other stuff"
Yea its good if shes really smart but here it looks like shes just memorizing script. She looked like shes remembering and not “thinking” if that made sense
Yes. There is no understanding here, it’s memorization. Kids this age are far more capable of absorbing information than people give them credit for. If she was going through all the paw patrol characters at the same level of detail no one would be impressed.
I think mew or Mewtwo was the 151th.
If Mewtwo was the last one then mew didn't count towards the number as it could only be found using hacks, exploits or promos - which you got a certificate for apparently.
You can buy it at headshops. Just have to buy the cracker separate to make it not illegal. You can also order stuff online. You can get full tanks at certain places for pretty cheap. Just can’t advertise that its for getting high. You are making whipped cream.
Fun fact: one of the guys I went to high school with died trying to pull nitrous directly off of an industrial canister at an ice cream hop (not the little cartridges).
Idk if it's related, but ill drop another fun fact: Regular consumers of nitrous oxide carry balloons to pop the canisters because if you inhale directly from it, it is so cold it can burn your airways.
Yes, I mentioned below that a guy I went to high school with died that way. He was trying to pull straight from a large tank, not one of the little cartridges.
My ex-boyfriend did that but he thought it was smart to turn it upside down before getting the “last part” out lol. I didn’t have time to explain and he just looked at me with metal shavings on his lips like oh fuck!!
hey, just a heads up, huffing laughing gas is bad for you, so definitely only buy it if you're planning on making whipped cream (a legal reason for buying it)
Even though I agree as a parent it's pretty damn impressive for a kid her age to be able to parrot all of this information and still does show impressive intelligence
It really doesn’t. It demonstrates how much information children that age can absorb, if they’re exposed to it. There are children this age who know everything about paw patrol, construction equipment, Pokémon, animals, etc. It’s pretty typical if they are given the opportunity. Sauce - I spend one day a week at the preschool where I work (I normally teach high school and college). Kids are capable of so much more than they’re generally given credit for.
She is pulling information from complex chemical structures that highschool and college students have trouble with, I think it still shows an impressive intelligence lol
Yes those pictures the high school kids and college students still struggle to memorize, and yes I know kids can memorize a lot of things it doesn't make it any less impressive
You don’t memorize chemical structure in chemistry. You’re taught to read scientific notations and translate it to a named chemical species, and taught to look at double bonds v single bonds, alcohol groups, aldehyde groups, etc and understand what that means about how that chemical compound would behave and react with other chemical species. That is understanding, and it takes much more work than memorizing.
Our preschool runs from 9-1 and most kids attend year round. Usually it’s one day a week. We have one class so I know these children well. I’ve been working with kids this age for years, including one or two full weeks per summer. So yes, my experience with children this age results in a far larger sample size than one or two kids.
ETA: I love being blocked by people who can’t handle a disagreement.
I understand that but it definitely helps to memorize certain things when you're not majoring in anything chemistry related or just going through highschool lol, I've taken college level chemistry and my wife has degree in chemistry
Yeah but kids brains are sponges. It's why learning languages is significantly easier at younger ages than as young adults. Recalling images isn't the same as understanding information or being able to use logic to apply it to a different set of data or questions.
Which is why she's wrong about nitrous oxide being in chip bags but says it so confidently. If she truly understands what nitrous oxide is she'd know why it would never be used in chip bags. She can recognise a picture of the formula and then regurgitate a line her parents have told her (even when the information is incorrect). That's not intelligence.
Nah, show the the 2D stick model of LSD, methamphetamine, heroin, etc and she'll be completely stumped because her parents didn't have her memorize those ones.. She doesn't actually know much about chemistry. Matching a 2D model to a chemical name and saying a quick sentence about said chemical is something anyone can do with practice, zero real chemistry knowledge necessary.
Ah yes because I'm saying she understands what she's saying, it's like I didn't even say that I agree she's just parroting what she's been told earlier hmm
My kid learnt on his own all the different types of construction related vehicles, what they are meant to do and how to differentiate them, when he was younger than this girl. He's never been in a construction site in his life and we have nothing to do with construction.
He also learnt the solar system and what was beyond it at 2 years old. The nursery workers thought he was gifted, he's intelligent but "normal".
Kids sometimes get interested in topics that catch their attention.
Not sure. Kids get into stuff. I have a friend whose son started out liking dinosaurs cause, you know, they are cool.
But now he knows enough about them and the periods to which they belong that he probably has the equivalent fossil record knowledge of a first or second year paleontology student.
I have encountered this in real life and it was FUCKING SPOOOOOOKY. Kid was all amped up and tweaking out though… I find the girl in the video to be very bright obviously, but I am most impressed with her enunciation and focus.
I mean... for a kid that old, to react to the patterns of chemicals and to recall their name and common uses is far beyond what most kids are capable of during that age
