the base level IQ right when you can start measuring IQ, before nurture has any play in it

2018-07-13 12:43:37 UTC  

oh from that perspective

2018-07-13 12:43:39 UTC  

🤔

2018-07-13 12:43:49 UTC  

that starting range, is only determined by genetics no?

2018-07-13 12:43:52 UTC  

genetics have a theoretical maximum unobtainable IQ

2018-07-13 12:44:09 UTC  

and then every action you do that deviates from the "perfect IQ path"

2018-07-13 12:44:14 UTC  

deminishes it slightly

2018-07-13 12:44:14 UTC  

technically all of this is "theoretical" until you can point to me the "IQ genes"

2018-07-13 12:44:25 UTC  

show me the genes is BS too

2018-07-13 12:44:34 UTC  

...

2018-07-13 12:44:39 UTC  

but lets not distract ourselves yet

2018-07-13 12:44:54 UTC  

so.... its in their DNA.... but its not their DNA?

2018-07-13 12:44:55 UTC  

certain actions deminish it more then others

2018-07-13 12:45:37 UTC  

eating lead paint chips will deminish a lot, not eating the required amount of vitamin C that one time in august 21th when you where 7 years old will do so a lot less

2018-07-13 12:46:32 UTC  

rich babies have less deminishing nurtures, but their theoretical (unobtainable) maximum IQ is still the same

2018-07-13 12:47:10 UTC  

question: Have these tests taken into account nurture starting from conception? I.E. mothers health? because twin studies are helpful, but without controlling for the mothers health habits there is a pretty important period of development in which nurture can very much affect the resulting baby before IQ tests can be measured.

2018-07-13 12:47:37 UTC  

mothers health effects both twins equally, unles you can prove me otherwise

2018-07-13 12:47:57 UTC  

yes... which means they can be damaged or improved equally.

2018-07-13 12:48:12 UTC  

potentially away

2018-07-13 12:48:13 UTC  

yes, but you can not use mothers health to explain a difference in IQ

2018-07-13 12:48:24 UTC  

as it effects both infants equally

2018-07-13 12:48:33 UTC  

you fail to understand the point

2018-07-13 12:48:47 UTC  

up until they are born, they are nurtured equally.

2018-07-13 12:50:11 UTC  
2018-07-13 12:51:08 UTC  

post being born, ideally they are split up and sent to their adoptive families...

2018-07-13 12:52:05 UTC  

correct, which is how you get the two different IQs. but the best for both of them is set during pregnancy.

2018-07-13 12:52:11 UTC  

a friend of mine is studying genetics

2018-07-13 12:52:33 UTC  

if you don't control for the mother, what happens when she does damage to the developing child.

2018-07-13 12:52:39 UTC  

or the environment does

2018-07-13 12:52:45 UTC  

not exactly, as soon as the genetic material is combined the theoretical maximum IQ could be calculated, asuming perfect knowledge

2018-07-13 12:52:46 UTC  

have they accounted for this?

2018-07-13 12:53:42 UTC  

you mean the adoptive mother?

2018-07-13 12:53:46 UTC  

not the genetic one?

2018-07-13 12:53:47 UTC  

no

2018-07-13 12:54:24 UTC  

accounted for the effect of environment on the development of the children while in the womb

2018-07-13 12:55:10 UTC  

i doubt alcohol and paint chips are good for the IQ of a developing fetus

2018-07-13 12:55:44 UTC  

it was the same environment, on the same genetics, before they have had a chance to experience different stimuli, so they are effectivly nurtured equally till birth

2018-07-13 12:55:52 UTC  

grenade they control for the mother

2018-07-13 12:55:59 UTC  

okay
