Schooling in adolescence raises IQ scores.
Although some scholars maintain that education has little effect on intelligence quotient (IQ) scores, others claim that IQ scores are indeed malleable, primarily through intervention in early childhood. The causal effect of education on IQ at later ages is often difficult to uncover because analyses based on observational data are plagued by problems of reverse causation and self-selection int...
متن کاملPredicting IQ change from brain structure: A cross-validation study
Procedures that can predict cognitive abilities from brain imaging data are potentially relevant to educational assessments and studies of functional anatomy in the developing brain. Our aim in this work was to quantify the degree to which IQ change in the teenage years could be predicted from structural brain changes. Two well-known k-fold cross-validation analyses were applied to data acquire...
متن کاملA Reanafysis of Gender Differences in IQ Scores Following Unilateral Brain Lesions
Meta-analyses of gender differences in the consequences of unilateral brain lesions have reported a positive correlation between the percentage of men in studies and the magnitude of the difference between Verbal and Performance IQ. Such findings are limited by both the indirectness of the methodology and the focus on V-P differences rather than on the separate effects of brain lesions on VIQ a...
متن کاملBrain connectivity dynamics during social interaction reflect social network structure.
Social ties are crucial for humans. Disruption of ties through social exclusion has a marked effect on our thoughts and feelings; however, such effects can be tempered by broader social network resources. Here, we use fMRI data acquired from 80 male adolescents to investigate how social exclusion modulates functional connectivity within and across brain networks involved in social pain and unde...
متن کاملBrain Tax: Estimating the Population-Level Impact of Environmental Chemicals on IQ Scores
Many studies report the impact of various environmental chemicals on children’s neurological development as “clinically insignificant.” But this designation, which describes the individual child, does not always reflect the broader implications of exposure for the overall population—i.e., that a mild but frequent impact could add up to a substantial population-level burden. A new analysis estab...
