If you ask yourself the question are you intelligent, do you respond with a smile and a positive gesture or with an embarrassed "possibly"? You should realise that in answering this question that there are a lot of factors to bear in mind, and your IQ score is just one of those factors. The thing is if you think of yourself as more intelligent than you are, then your brain will perform better.
Having a positive outlook on things like this will surely affect the functioning of your brain. If you really believe that you are more intelligent than you are then your brain may just start working to the level of your belief. So the more positive the outlook you have of yourself the easier it will be for you to achieve your goals.
What is the influence of psychology on brain function? You may have come across stories where a person who had never been to high school, was able to work his way up to become rich in a short space of time. He just used his guts and willpower as he worked his way towards his goal.
His early years may have shown him that it is possible to be as rich as other people. All that needs to be done is hard work. Because of this, he stuck to what he knew, and seeing that he knew that he too can be rich, he did work hard for his riches. His positive outlook was that "if others can be rich so can I also be rich."
He never got any money from meeting rich people, and he never got any help as he worked his way towards his goal. But the thing he got from these people was his expectation. If he never knew about these rich people, if he never knew that it is possible for anyone to be rich, he would not have worked hard to achieve his goal.
So you can see that having high expectations of yourself can play a large part in your achieving your goals. Expectations function as your motivation. They make you feel that you are on to something that is just within your grasp all you need to do is work hard for it. This then is the influence of psychology on brain function.
Once you have a better outlook of yourself, then now is the time for you to be more observant to the things around you which can provide evidence that you are about to attain your goal. Take notice of your advancement irrespective of whether they are too trivial or too large. Concentrate on these advancements. You will quickly become conscious that the more you value your small advancements the quicker you'll reach your goal because more of them will soon come.
If you believe hard enough that you can develop your brain's performance, then your brain will soon begin to function in a much better way. The developments may not be as far-reaching as you imagined, but there will certainly be some positive changes. Remember always have a positive outlook, think of yourself as better than you think you are, and your brain will in next to no time live up to your expectations. Good Luck!
