The Flynn Effect is believed to be a product of adequate nutrition year 'round, added to faster paced culture requiring greater processing speed.
With most of the improvement coming from the lower end, that seems plausible. Nutrition, lead abatement, and more kids knowing what a test is like.
ReplyDeleteThe decrease at the high end, if it survives further studies, is interesting. If there's a "use it or lose it" factor, maybe the high end has more opportunities to slack off and lose the sharp edge.
I rather liked the video. The footwork was impressive. An elder has something to teach the younger. The elder enjoys teaching the younger, and the younger enjoy learning and showing off what they had learned. The learning is made easier by the younger never being restless. As they are in constant motion, they can never become restless.
