In this paper we merge three datasets individual income data, patenting data, and IQ data to analyze the deterninants of an individual’s probability of inventing. We find that: (i) parental income matters even after controlling for other background variables and for IQ, yet the estimated impact of parental income is greatly diminished once parental education and the individual’s IQ are controll...

Humane-egalitarian ideals, whose aims are group justice and reducing environmental inequality and privilege, must be tested against reality, as revealed by psychology and other social sciences. Four issues are addressed: the equation between IQ and intelligence, whether group potential is determined by a group's mean IQ, whether the BlackWhite IQ gap is genetic, and the meritocratic thesis that...

The Duchenne muscular systrophy (DMD) is a muscular dystrophy with cognitive impairment present in 20-30% of the cases. In the present study, in order to study the relationship between the α-dystroglycan (α-DG) immunostaining in skeletal muscle and cognitive performance in DMD patients, 19 were assessed. Twelve patients performed the intelligence quotient (IQ) below the average. Among the 19 pa...

This research maps the information quality (IQ) process and finds that the control constituent of the process comprises two types of factors: IQ dimensions and IQ indicators. The later forms an information performance measure known as ‘information orientation’ that measures the capability of an organisation to effectively manage and use information. It stressed that the consistency between the ...

OBJECTIVE To examine direct and mediated effects of maternal IQ, marital status, family income, and quality of the home environment on the cognitive development of low birthweight infants. METHODS Secondary analyses on a large dataset using hierarchical regression identified factors correlated with cognitive outcomes in children at 3 years of age who were born at low birthweight. RESULTS Ma...

Zero-IF receivers are gaining interest because they enable low-cost WLAN OFDM terminals. However, Zero-IF receivers introduce IQ imbalance which may have a huge impact on the performance. Rather than increasing component cost to decrease the IQ imbalance, an alternative is to tolerate the IQ imbalance and compensate it digitally. Current solutions converge too slow for bursty WLAN communication...

INTRODUCTION A child's intelligence quotient (IQ) is determined by both genetic and environmental factors that start from the prenatal period itself. There is a lack of data on the factors which influence IQ in Indian children; therefore, we conducted a multicenter questionnaire-based study to determine the environmental factors which influence IQ in Indian children. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS ...

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and intelligence (IQ) are both heritable phenotypes. Overlapping genetic effects have been suggested to influence both, with neuroimaging work suggesting similar overlap in terms of morphometric properties of the brain. Together, this evidence suggests that the brain changes characteristic of ADHD may vary as a function of IQ. This study investiga...
