vices flow....
Hello. I was reading an article, and came across with a sentence, which has been giving me a hard time for a while. Could someone help me interpreting the sentence? The sentence (and the preceding sentence) is as follows:
Today, the research that dominates public conversation is not about raw brain power but about the strengths and consequences of specific processes. Daniel Schacter of Harvard University writes about the vices that flow from the way memory works.
The article is titled "The Waning of IQ" and it discusses whether IQ is the best measurement of human intelligence.
The part in bold is the part I've been having a hard time understanding.
Thanx a lot in advance
