There is a particularly interesting statistic that has caught people's attention recently.
According to the freshman data of Tsinghua University, Shanghai Fudan University, Zhejiang University, Nankai University and other famous universitiesThe most number of students born are in the second half of the year, especially in November and December.
This raises questions:Could it be that children born in the second half of the year are smarter?
First of all, we need to be clear about a pointThat is, there is no direct causal relationship between the month of birth and a person's intelligence
The results in these statistics may be related to a number of other factors.
One possible explanation is the difference in the intellectual development of preschool children. Most preschool children communicate with the outside world through physical contact, which plays a great role in promoting children's intellectual development.
And children born in the second half of the year, they are in kindergarten or early childhood educational institutions with other childrenThe communication time is longer, which allows them to be exposed to social and cognitive stimuli earlier, which may have an advantage in intellectual development.
In addition,The family environment is also one of the important factors affecting a child's intellectual development.
In general, children born in the second half of the year are more likely to have access to their elders and friends in the family, and such a family environment may have a positive impact on their intellectual development.
The companionship and education of elders, relatives and friends can provide children with more opportunities for learning and Xi and accumulation of knowledge, thereby promoting their intellectual development.
In addition, the month of birth of a child may also have an impact to some extent when it comes to school admissions. In the domestic school admissions system, age is one of the important factors in considering admission.
Born inChildren in the second half of the year may be slightly older when they start school than children born in the first half of the year, which may provide them with some advantages for achieving better grades academically.
In short, while this statistic may be curious, it does not mean that children born in the second half of the year are necessarily smarter.
