> As can be seen, the mean effect of nutritional supplements was to increase a group’s average non-verbal IQ by 3.2 points and while not all studies produced an effect size which was statistically significant, they did all produce effects in the expected direction.

> Closer analysis of these studies has suggested that most participants in both groups experience the same change in IQ (as a result of “learning” the test) and that the higher gains among groups given nutritional supplements is due to a minority of participants, around 20%, experiencing IQ gains of nearly 15 points.

The second one has correlation, I’m not inclined to buy into it. With the first one it was definitely better but I want to know the long term effects of this. Does your IQ get temporarily boosted or does it actually make long term effects?

Case in point, when everyone is given optimal environmental conditions, IQ gaps still persist

And what does this account for lower IQs among all blacks ?

my point is that with more IQ, certain behaviours will be more or less prevalent

And those gaps are due to genetics

im not saying the IQ evens out and its all happy fun time

Oh

im saying +3IQ points from simply eating better makes certain behaviours less likely to occur

not everyone has to get to 100IQ, but its obviously better to put everyone up by 3IQ points where possible

@Boop / 브파 / C'thUwU What you're not taking into account is that the environment that different races live in is in and of itself a result of genetics

and from that, the IQ floor gets raised, which makes things obviously better

So it's a genetic mesh

Africa is poor since inception

We also know behavioral differences exist between races

im not taking it into acocunt because im not talking about it

You're talking about that only

Without realizing it

You're creating the Fisherman's Bait Problem

yes because talking about food and IQ is the limit of my knowledge

Alright I’m done here, I didn’t want to get into this

im not going out into other territory because i cant speak on it

Just wanted to post a useful video

nutrition boosts IQ, raises the IQ floor is obviously going to make certain behaviours less prevailent

if you want to go on about other things, you do that

Except those changes are cosmetic

3IQ is cosmetic

brilliant

goodbye

Cosmetic means they are not passed down to progeny

Look up Spearman's Hypothesis

So again, you'll end up with the Philosophical problem known as Fisherman's Bait

Wherein you'll have to continuously aid them for many years

This is why even progeny of high IQ immigrants regress to the racial mean

Because whatever changes they receive from controlling environmental factors are "hollow for g"

In other words, only their skill is increasing, not general intelligence

IQ can also be trained by practicing the thought patterns that are required to achieve higher scores in IQ tests

"Relational skill" is not to be mistaken with social skills, it just means stuff like if A > B then B < A etc.

Which subtests did they use?
