Is it possible for The Flash to think faster than any being due to the fact that he is gifted with the Speed Force?

Well he does think faster than almost everybody, yes... I don't know if it's faster than the other people onnected to the Speed Force, but when he thinks about something for five minutes, it can really take like 30 seconds in his mind.

They talked about this in Identity Crisis and in the spin-offs in Flash recently... how Flash had gone through all the possibilities because his mind works that fast. He could be the world's greatest detective... but he's just not as smart as Batman, nor does he have the training.

But, if you think about it, a person's mind would HAVE to work fast to be able to move at the speeds he does, in order to react. Of course, in perspective, it would be "normal" for him.

Training wouldn't really work on Wally. Apparently, Bart is the only speedster who can remember and absorb any knowledge he reads while in speed mode.

Yeah but he must be able to slow his mind as well or else he would not be able to deal with regular people

I mean thats why Quicksilver is such an ***

The Flash does operate at a far faster rate, but he can slow himself down when he wants to, he has to. Take a look at him while he's talking while running, it's all a blur to most people. There are only a few who probably think as fast as he does, one of them being Superman.

Wally HAS been known to do some super-speed research, but it's not as effective as Bart's. Kid Flash's retention has nothing to do with his speed, though, he has a photographic memory. Put the two together and you've got everyone's favorite walking library.

Also there have been times when psychic attackes/tech/technequies have not worked correctly on Flash because him mind just moves to fast.
