Dysarthria means difficulty speaking. It can be caused by brain damage or by brain changes occurring in some conditions affecting the nervous system, or related to ageing. It can affect people of all ages. If dysarthria occurs suddenly, call 999, it may be being caused by a stroke.
Talking fast seemed to signal confidence, intelligence, objectivity and superior knowledge. [However, another study in a different context has found that speaking slowly is linked to sounding intelligent, so the link is far from proven.]
Physical exercise can help you learn and think faster, focus better, and remember more. One huge study on over 1 million men found that exercise can actually raise IQ. All exercise is good for your brain, but aerobic exercises like walking, jogging, swimming, or biking specifically improve processing speed.
Smart folks are those who can make any topic, no matter the complexity, easy and fun for listeners to understand. They're concise when delivering their message. They sound authoritative yet warm and they have a strong and consistent verbal brand. When most people try to sound smart, they're doing it wrong.
The smarter the person, the faster information zips around the brain, a UCLA study finds. And this ability to think quickly apparently is inherited. The study, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, looked at the brains and intelligence of 92 people. All the participants took standard IQ tests.
Practicing a new and challenging activity is a good bet for building and maintaining cognitive skills. Your brain has the ability to learn and grow as you age — a process called brain plasticity — but for it to do so, you have to train it on a regular basis.
Green, leafy vegetables. Leafy greens such as kale, spinach, collards, and broccoli are rich in brain-healthy nutrients like vitamin K, lutein, folate, and beta carotene. ...
There are 10 qualities that intelligent people have in common. They are empathetic, adaptable, curious, observant, and ask great questions.

There is also abundant evidence that women prefer men with a deep voice, while men prefer women with a high voice. Attractive male voices are around 96 Hz and the most attractive women voices are up to 280 Hz.
The factors causing the speaking problems are lack of general knowledge, lack of speaking practice, fear of mistake, lack of words usage and grammar practice, low motivation, low participation, reading laziness, shyness, less dictionary usage, nervousness, fear of criticism, and unfamiliar words pronunciation.
When stress responses are active, we can experience a wide range of abnormal actions, such as mixing up our words when speaking. Many anxious and overly stressed people experience mixing up their words when speaking. Because this is just another symptom of anxiety and/or stress, it needn't be a need for concern.
When one becomes anxious, the muscles in the face and jaw can experience increased tension, which can impact speech production. This type of muscle tension can result in variations in the way speech sounds, as it is difficult to properly manipulate speech sounds as one does normally.
Research has shown that there is a high correlation between being intelligent and socially anxious. The higher your IQ, the higher the chance your social apprehension is higher than usual.
The differences are subtle, but add up to a lot. Smart people know a lot of facts and are able to draw on this arsenal of facts with ease. Intelligent people know a lot of facts but are driven by a constant curiosity to find out more. Smart people have strong, clear arguments, and can defend them at length.
