  • Future Efforts in Flynn Effect Research: Balancing Reductionism with Holism
    J. Intell. 2014, 2, 122-155; doi:10.3390/jintelligence2040122 OPEN ACCESS Journal of Intelligence ISSN 2079-3200 www.mdpi.com/journal/jintelligence Article Future Efforts in Flynn Effect Research: Balancing Reductionism with Holism Michael A. Mingroni Newark, Delaware, USA; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-302-753-3533 External Editor: Joseph L. Rodgers Received: 13 February 2014: in revised form 2 October 2014 / Accepted: 2 October 2014 / Published: 15 October 2014 Abstract: After nearly thirty years of concerted effort by many investigators, the cause or causes of the secular gains in IQ test scores, known as the Flynn effect, remain elusive. In this target article, I offer six suggestions as to how we might proceed in our efforts to solve this intractable mystery. The suggestions are as follows: (1) compare parents to children; (2) consider other traits and conditions; (3) compare siblings; (4) conduct more and better intervention programs; (5) use subtest profile data in context; and (6) quantify the potential contribution of heterosis. This last section contains new simulations of the process of heterosis, which provide a plausible scenario whereby rapid secular changes in multiple genetically influenced traits are possible. If there is any theme to the present paper, it is that future study designs should be simpler and more highly focused, coordinating multiple studies on single populations. Keywords: Flynn effect; intelligence; secular trend; heterosis 1. Introduction It has been nearly thirty years since James Flynn brought widespread attention to the occurrence of rapid gains in IQ test scores [1,2]. However, in honestly assessing the situation today one would have to conclude that we are not much closer to identifying the cause than we were three decades ago.

  • The Black-White Test Score Gap: an Introduction
    CHRISTOPHER JENCKS MEREDITH PHILLIPS 1 The Black-White Test Score Gap: An Introduction FRICAN AMERICANS currently score lower than A European Americans on vocabulary, reading, and mathematics tests, as well as on tests that claim to measure scholastic apti- tude and intelligence.1 This gap appears before children enter kindergarten (figure 1-1), and it persists into adulthood. It has narrowed since 1970, but the typical American black still scores below 75 percent of American whites on most standardized tests.2 On some tests the typical American black scores below more than 85 percent of whites.3 1. We are indebted to Karl Alexander, William Dickens, Ronald Ferguson, James Flynn, Frank Furstenberg, Arthur Goldberger, Tom Kane, David Levine, Jens Ludwig, Richard Nisbett, Jane Mansbridge, Susan Mayer, Claude Steele, and Karolyn Tyson for helpful criticisms of earlier drafts. But we did not make all the changes they suggested, and they are in no way responsible for our conclusions. 2. These statistics also imply, of course, that a lot of blacks score above a lot of whites. If the black and white distributions are normal and have the same standard deviation, and if the black-white gap is one (black or white) standard deviation, then when we compare a randomly selected black to a randomly selected white, the black will score higher than the white about 24 percent of the time. If the black-white gap is 0.75 rather than 1.00 standard deviations, a randomly selected black will score higher than a randomly selected white about 30 percent of the time.

  • The Flynn / Non-Flynn Phenomenon and the Digitized Educational System
    ERD 2016: Education, Reflection, Development, Fourth Edition The Flynn / Non-Flynn Phenomenon and the digitized Educational System Claudia Talasman-Chioreana* * Corresponding author: Claudia Talasman-Chiorean, [email protected] aPhD Research Assistant, College of Political Sciences, Babes-Bolyai University, str. Traian Mosiu, nr. 71, Cluj-Napoca, Romania Abstract http://dx.doi.org/10.15405/epsbs.2016.12.12 Forced to adapt to new realities, the human mind has evolved in a qualitatively superior way from a historical stage to another. This principle is affirmed and demonstrated in several studies known as The Flynn Phenomenon. As a response to these principles, The Non-Flynn Phenomenon claims that in our modern heavily digitized society, IQ has decreased due to the minimal contribution of the human mind in dealing with the new existential problems of humanity. The current trend of substitution of specific human elements by gadgets, software tools or created digital spaces is increasingly obvious. Between The Flynn and non-Flynn Phenomenon, education plays an important role. Education aims efficient use innovative technical means. And this trend may be the solution for the continuous development of IQ. The new technology involves increasing interest, maintaining motivation, widening of the informational horizon, if used properly, without excesses, in combination with other methods and modern and applied educational resources. © 2016 Published by Future Academy www.FutureAcademy.org.uk Keywords: The Flynn Phenomenon, The Non-Flynn Phenomenon, digitized society, IQ, education. 1. IQ and Human Evolution Throughout human evolution, progress has been one of the functional, adaptive constants that man has consistently promoted. Whether we talk about progress at the technical, cultural, social or civic level, the human being has constantly been trying to find new, useful, easy resources in order to get a ratio of maximum benefit and minimal effort.

  • Cognitive Ability William T
    Forthcoming in The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics, Steve Durlauf ed. Cognitive Ability William T. Dickens Senior Fellow The Brookings Institution ABSTRACT Modern psychological theory views cognitive ability as multidimensional while acknowledging that the many different abilities are themselves positively correlated. This positive correlation across abilities has led most psychometricians to accept the reality of a general cognitive ability that is reflected in the full scale score on major tests of cognitive ability or IQ. This entry provides an introduction to the history of cognitive testing and some of its major controversies. Evidence supporting the validity of measures of cognitive ability is presented and the nature and implications of group differences is discussed along with evidence on its malleability. Some people obviously and consistently understand new concepts quicker, solve unfamiliar problems faster, see relationships that others don’t and are more knowledgeable about a wider range of topics than others. We call such people smart, bright, quick, or intelligent. Psychologists have developed tests to measure this trait. Originally called IQ tests (for Intelligence Quotient because the measures were constructed as the ratio of mental age to chronological age multiplied by 100) that name has fallen out of favor. Instead, such tests are now often referred to as tests of cognitive ability. Although the term IQ is still sometimes used to refer to what such tests measure, none construct a ratio. History Spearman (1904) first popularized the observation that individuals who do well on one type of mental task also tend to do well on many others. For example, people who are good at recognizing patterns in sequences of abstract drawings are also good at quickly arranging pictures in order to tell a story, telling what three dimensional shapes drawn in two dimensions will look like when rotated, tend to have large vocabularies and good reading comprehension, and are quick at arithmetic.

  • The G-Factor of International Cognitive Ability Comparisons: the Homogeneity of Results in PISA, TIMSS, PIRLS and IQ-Tests Across Nations
    European Journal of Personality Eur. J. Pers. 21: 667–706 (2007) Published online in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com) DOI: 10.1002/per.634 The g-Factor of International Cognitive Ability Comparisons: The Homogeneity of Results in PISA, TIMSS, PIRLS and IQ-Tests Across Nations HEINER RINDERMANN* Institute of Psychology, Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg, Germany Abstract International cognitive ability and achievement comparisons stem from different research traditions. But analyses at the interindividual data level show that they share a common positive manifold. Correlations of national ability means are even higher to very high (within student assessment studies, r ¼ .60–.98; between different student assessment studies [PISA-sum with TIMSS-sum] r ¼ .82–.83; student assessment sum with intelligence tests, r ¼ .85–.86). Results of factor analyses indicate a strong g-factor of differences between nations (variance explained by the first unrotated factor: 94–95%). Causes of the high correlations are seen in the similarities of tests within studies, in the similarities of the cognitive demands for tasks from different tests, and in the common developmental factors at the individual and national levels including known environmental and unknown genetic influences. Copyright # 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Key words: intelligence; knowledge; education; student assessment; educational achievement; OECD; IEA INTRODUCTION The past century of empirical research on cognitive abilities has convincingly demonstrated their relevance for both individuals and societies across a wide variety of criteria. For individuals, both IQ (Schmidt & Hunter, 2004) and literacy (OECD, 2000) have been linked with job performance, longevity (Gottfredson & Deary, 2004; OECD, 2000), and low criminality (Herrnstein & Murray, 1994).

  • Malcolm Gladwell Looks at Intelligence and IQ Tests
    Malcolm Gladwell Looks at Intelligence and I.Q. Tests In this fascinating New Yorker article, author Malcolm Gladwell begins by describing what he calls the I.Q. fundamentalists – those who believe that (a) intelligence tests measure an identifiable mental trait that predicts the quality of our thinking, and (b) that intelligence is innate – it’s determined by our genes and can’t be changed after birth. Among the fundamentalists are H. H. Goddard (who coined the word moron and wrote, “The people who are doing the drudgery are, as a rule, in their proper places”); Lewis Terman (who predicted that California children with the highest I.Q. scores would grow up to be the most successful in every profession); Arthur Jensen (who said that Head Start wouldn’t work because I.Q. was mostly genetic); Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray (authors of The Bell Curve); Richard Lynn (who believes that Asians are the most intelligent race because of the Himalayas, really cold weather, pre-modern hunting practices, brain size, and specialized vowel sounds); and James Watson (who recently told an English newspaper that he was “inherently gloomy” about the prospects for Africa because its people consistently score lower than Europeans on intelligence tests). But those who believe that intelligence is inborn and fixed, says Gladwell, haven’t contended with some stubborn facts. The most important is that I.Q. improves steadily from one generation to the next. For example, at the beginning of the nineteenth century, the children of U.S. immigrants from southern Italy scored in the high 70s and low 80s on I.Q.

For this reason, Arthur Jensen reinitiated mental chronometry in the 1970s. He designed an apparatus that measures reaction Keywords: time to a task known as the Hick paradigm that requires the testee to respond to a display of 1 Flynn Effect (FE) to 8 lights. Faster decision times were related to psychometric g, with theoretically important Galton Intelligence consequences. He was able to do this, where many other studies had failed, mainly because his IQ apparatus clearly separated movement (MT) from reaction time (RT, also called ‘decision Mental chronometry time’.) Interestingly, while RT is clearly related to IQ, MT is not. Principal components analysis Movement time (MT) reveals RT to be a cognitive variable and MT a motor variable. Failure to distinguish between Nisbett them drastically obscures the correlation between composite RT (i.e., RT+MT) and cognitive Psychometrics variables.
