Yes, if I cave in your head with an icepick, your cognition will be affected.

No. I've seen people with the head shape of an almond do perfectly fine during lectures

Head shape is affected by lots of things too. Does height affect cognition? Yes, kind of. That's why manlets never learn. But lots of things can affect your height.

Yes. Once I had a cat and when it was young I stepped on its head. After that it was rather dumb.

>At it happens, they would be right to do so. According to one study (Henrichsen et al., 1986), which was highlighted by IQ blogger Pumpkin Person, fourteen pairs of MZ twins who had weight differentials of more than 25% at birth had their bodies and minds measured at the age of 13. The heavier twins had a 0.5 S.D. higher head circumference, a 0.5 S.D. higher performance IQ, but there was no difference in verbal IQ.
>Two other bits of evidence from HBD. First, larger-brained men have a 10 IQ point advantage in visuospatial ability over women, but verbal abilities are at best equal. The Inuit and Yakuts have some of the biggest brains on the planet, more so even than their other Mongoloid cousins, but while their visuospatial abilities are legendary – early Soviet psychometrists noted the ability of the Altai to notice one missing animal in a herd of hundreds – their verbal IQs are nothing to write home about. Meanwhile, Jews dominate verbal IQ, being almost one S.D. above Whites, while having normal sized brains and unremarkable visuospatial IQ.

thread is not about head/brain size but head/brain shape.

So dolichocephaly causes visualspatial habilities or not?
Some German mathematicians wrote that long skulled whites approach to problems were more pictorical (visualspatial) than roundhead jews.
Yakut being even more brachycephalical than jews prove that dolichocephaly correlation with visualspatial habilities is a coincidence?

Of course not.

Yes, but this does not necessarily mean that a person with a different head shape cannot effectively function exactly like a person with a different one. It's more a probabilistic and adaptive thing.

No, look up artificial cranial deformation. Extensive evidence that skull shape has no significant impact on cognition, size does.

Quoted By:

what causes the shape of the skull? does the brain conform to the cranium or does the cranium conform to the brain?
if a child is born with a small brain does their skull develop normally?
