IQ is a meme. If you think psychology is a science you are certified retard. Literally 90% of “experiments” in psychology are not reproducible. Observational studies plague that field. (using that word discusses me because psychology is not a field. its a pseudoscientific discipline that has defrauded society. its egregious)

You say that but in Finland even finnish kids can't read or write in their own fucking language.

>uk and scandinavia
lol

Muslims are now technology

>ITT people with low IQ trying to figure out what "due to technology" means.

need a tissue?

how much did you score ngubu

The g factor is one of the few well-established results from psychology.

That's because your language is a joke.

The only cited source used in the paper is that fewer people could do handwritten math, likely because of calculators and other tools which thereby also allow students to do more complex math; if the IQ dropping is real then the author's probably a part of the problem.

>trying to figure out
Nobody is trying to figure anything out, brainlet.

technology as in boats and trucks

Abstract from the article:

The IQ gains of the 20th century have faltered. Losses in Nordic nations after 1995 average at 6.85 IQ points
when projected over thirty years. On Piagetian tests, Britain shows decimation among high scorers on three tests
and overall losses on one. The US sustained its historic gain (0.3 points per year) through 2014. The Netherlands
shows no change in preschoolers, mild losses at high school, and possible gains by adults. Australia and France
offer weak evidence of losses at school and by adults respectively. German speakers show verbal gains and
spatial losses among adults. South Korea, a latecomer to industrialization, is gaining at twice the historic US rate.
When a later cohort is compared to an earlier cohort, IQ trends vary dramatically by age. Piagetian trends
indicate that a decimation of top scores may be accompanied by gains in cognitive ability below the median.
They also reveal the existence of factors that have an atypical impact at high levels of cognitive competence.
Scandinavian data from conventional tests confirm the decimation of top scorers but not factors of atypical
impact. Piagetian tests may be more sensitive to detecting this phenomenon.

IQ is defined as performance on certain tests, yes. What's your point.

>The Netherlands
>shows no change in preschoolers, mild losses at high school, and possible gains by adults.
Why yes, of course everyone gets dumber except for the Netherlands.

Read further. The US is bucking the trend the most.

I guess they have the least low IQ technology entering the country.

or

which is correct?

IQ is determined on certain tests specifically catered by a trained psychology - if this article is trying to pass off fewer people having to do handwritten math as being equivalent to an IQ score, which is a major part of the report, then it's a poor take. None of the actual IQ studies or group averages or anything were mentioned

>this implies that the trends are not due to a changing composition of families, and that there is at most a minor role for explanations involving genes (e.g., immigration and dysgenic fertility) and environmental factors largely fixed within families (e.g., parental education, socialization effects of low-ability parents, and family size). While such factors may be present, their influence is negligible compared with other environmental factors.

we really need to do something about our technology, this shouldn't happen!

>Ratings from N = 75 experts attributed the secular IQ rise to better health and nutrition, more and better education and rising standards of living. Genetic changes were seen as not important. A possible stagnation or retrograde of the FLynn effect was attributed to asymmetric fertility (genetic and socialization effects), migration, declines in education and the influence of media. Experts expected 21st century IQ increases in currently on average low-ability regions (+ 6 to + 7 IQ points, in Latin America, Africa, India) and in East Asia (+ 7 IQ), but not in the West (a stagnation, below + 1 IQ), with a small decline in the US (− 0.45 IQ)
Not as clear cut as Zig Forums wants it to be, immigration is a proposed factor but environmental influences are accepted by experts to have contributed to the 20th century positive flynn effect.

Cope

Is anyone surprised that Facebook and other social media is making people retarded?

TED WAS RIGHT I KNEW IT

(((the technology)))

The article ends as follows:

>This is not to deny that if dysgenic mating alters
the potential of the human brain over a century, we should be quies-
cent. But the solution to that problem would take us far afield (Flynn,
2013).

So I guess holes and simps are to blame, once more.
