http://www.webmd.com/content/article/128/116976?src=3DRSS_PUBLIC Nikki Lee wondered about the definition of breastfeeding not mentioned in the article. However, I would be more concerned about the definition of intelligence -- it seems that IQ in this country is measured by IQ tests (standardized tests that only measure left brain linear processed thought.) That is a very narrow definition of intelligence. We now know that intelligence is actually measured by not only IQ but EQ as well. According to Daniel Goleman, emotional intelligence (EQ) incorporates the qualities of self-awareness, self-mangagement, social awareness, and relationship management. One may be intelligent, but not emotionally intelligent. EQ is the only quality that's flexible and able to allow one to change/adapt to one's environment. Because the Horwood study used teacher ratings of children (aged 8-18) of various performances that included social interactions, this study would be a better indicator of EQ.
