Gains in fluid intelligence after training non-verbal reasoning in 4-year-old children: a controlled, randomized study.
Fluid intelligence (Gf) predicts performance on a wide range of cognitive activities, and children with impaired Gf often experience academic difficulties. Previous attempts to improve Gf have been hampered by poor control conditions and single outcome measures. It is thus still an open question whether Gf can be improved by training. This study included 4-year-old children (N = 101) who perfor...

متن کاملIQ, Educational Attainment, Memory and Plasma Lipids: Associations with Apolipoprotein E Genotype in 5995 Children
BACKGROUND Apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype (ε2/ε3/ε4: rs429358 ε4 allele; rs7412 ε2 allele) is strongly associated with both lipid levels and Alzheimer's disease. Although there is also evidence of milder cognitive impairment in later life in carriers of the APOE ε4 allele, there have been few studies investigating the impact of APOE genotype on cognitive function in children. METHODS We det...
متن کاملIsraeli military IQ tests: gender differences small; IQ gains large.
From 1971 to 1984, the Israeli Defence Forces administered two tests unaltered that qualify as IQ tests. These were the Matrices and the Instructions tests. The former is an adaptation of Raven’s Progressive Matrices, similar to the original in that there are clusters with progressive difficulty and an escalation of difficulty throughout the test. The raw score range is from 4 to 35. The Instru...
متن کاملGenetic and environmental contributions to the covariance between occupational status, educational attainment, and IQ: a study of twins.
Scores of occupational status, educational attainment, and IQ were obtained for 507 monozygotic and 575 dizygotic male twin pairs born 1931-1935 and 1944-1960. A multivariate genetic analysis with statistics from different cohorts showed heterogeneity between cohorts, and analyses were performed in four separate cohorts. The only set of results which departed clearly from the rest was found for...
