All well and good. However, plenty of people can think on their feet and put across what they intend, rappers aren't really an exclusive group there. Just a different version.

the fuck are you talking about? we dont have a “thinking on your feet” part of the brain. im pretty sure they were studying how they can access certain word associations so quickly or something like that. that skill is completely different from being able to solve an equation quickly for example

True. So? That just means the conclusions may be more generalizable.
MacRubys t1_iycuui5 wrote
Exactly. So why the "rappers" in the initial post?
BunkytheClown t1_iycv47j wrote
Because that's what the study looked at.
MacRubys t1_iycvgaw wrote
But why not in comparision? Would have been a more interesting "study" reads like they had an agenda, which is why I brought up improve comedians.

Because you need to control your variables as tightly as possible in order to obtain any usable data.
And the moment they are trying to compare two different careers usage of the brain you are now doing a completely different experiment to aquire completely different data.
It doesn't read like they have an agenda, it reads like you don't understand the scientific method.

Why don't you go conduct your own study. With blackjack, and hookers! You know what, forget the study.

Well he's a good argument against the initial post, they aren't all rappers.

And Robin williams could do this at the same speed as rappers, in the sense of amout of words per second as a rapper can. Becuse if he could only deliver it at normal talking speed it would mean he has alot more time to think?

Well that just shows you know nothing about what you're talking about. rappers are now suddenly rapping at more than the speed of non rappers? It's about thinking on your feet in the situation you're in. Most of the participants of Whose Line could do the same. Not in the same league as Williams, which was aired, but still.

So 50 words spoken in a minute us the Same as 75 to 100 words rapped per minute , i get you
MacRubys t1_iycunfa wrote
It's not about words per minute. People can type that. Doesn't always make sense. As I said. Whose Line is it anyway proves that that rappers aren't the only quick thinkers, as the OP suggests.
AstroBoySyaoran t1_iycvqcm wrote
Why does it suggest that, isnt it just a select research for freestly rap, and not for all freestlye kinds?

Whose line is it anyways isn't improv. They've got a staff of writers and script producers, and each show is heavily edited to cut out the jokes that don't land.
It's a running joke amongst comedians that Whose Line is a well written show.
