The concept of 'd-lay' in individuals with a high Intelligence Quotient (IQ), or superdotados, refers to a latency in reaction time across various contexts. This study, conducted by Dr. Fabiano de Abreu Agrela Rodrigues, a researcher and member of ten high IQ societies, aims to validate the various circumstances under which superdotados may exhibit this observed latency through a systematic review of literature. The research emphasizes that when prompted, these individuals can demonstrate an elongation in their response interval. The term 'd-lay' is used to differentiate and invent a specific concept, contrasting it with the more common term 'delay'. The 'd-lay' phenomenon in individuals with high IQs is linked to a latency in cognitive and behavioral responses. This study explores the multifaceted variables influencing 'd-lay,' including: 1. **Economic Energy Consumption**: The brain optimizes energy use by prioritizing essential cognitive processes over secondary activities. 2. **Probabilistic Response Processing**: Individuals with high IQs engage in complex cognitive calculations, considering multiple variables and probabilities. 3. **Additional Influencing Factors**: Emotional load, dynamic interactions among individuals, and distracting environmental stimuli also play significant roles. Recent studies support these findings, showing negative correlations between response latency and verbal ability scores, the impact of cognitive load on emotional processing, and the suppression of irrelevant information processing. The study also highlights the role of emotional and social cognitive dysfunctions, particularly in individuals with conditions like autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which can exacerbate 'd-lay' The 'd-lay' in superdotados is influenced by a complex interplay of neuropsychological, sensory, social, and behavioral factors. Deep and meticulous information processing, intense focus, sensory difficulties, social disconnection, introverted personality, lack of motivation, and cognitive fatigue can all contribute to this latency. The study emphasizes that while 'd-lay' may be perceived as a limitation, it often results from a more rich and detailed cognitive processing, a distinctive trait of individuals with high IQs. The study concludes that 'd-lay' in superdotados is a multifactorial phenomenon influenced by a complex interplay of cognitive and environmental factors. Recognizing and understanding these factors is crucial for creating an environment that respects and accommodates the unique needs and processing styles of superdotados. Future research should explore 'd-lay' in more diverse contexts and with larger samples to deepen our understanding of the interplay between cognitive and emotional characteristics in superdotados.The concept of 'd-lay' in individuals with a high Intelligence Quotient (IQ), or superdotados, refers to a latency in reaction time across various contexts.
