      It depends with what you define as thinking capacity. We can measure brain activity and resolve which parts of the brain are activated when performing different neuro-cognitive tasks or when engaged with different tasks.

      If you mean measuring intelligence, psychologists have developed standardised approaches to measure neuro-development at different levels and age groups.
