Currently I see children's early cognitive developmental stages as being a product of only two factors: processing speed and memory. Typically, I haven't published anything on this, but said it as an afterthought at a seminar on child development at the 2014 ISIR Graz conferenceAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09320614837348759094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624586630299165335.post-11006024978674436772016-01-30T22:29:43.321+00:002016-01-30T22:29:43.321+00:00It was interesting to see in Stuart Ritchie's ...It was interesting to see in Stuart Ritchie's review of Hive Mind that he thought it could in fact prove to be self-control that is the real variable at work, not in fact IQ. I would go even further and argue that it *could* turn out to be variations in 'Post-formal' psychological development stages (as researched by neo-Piagetians) that are the foundational variable here - underlying both self-control findings and IQ ones. We obviously won't know for sure until someone researches this topic - and no-one has. Prof Terrie Moffitt made comments to me that provide some strong initial support for this possibility. (And Prof Commons' forthcoming paper around WAIS-IV shows how IQ tests completely miss post-formal stages of thinking).<br /><br />I've written to both Ritchie and Jones about this, but haven't heard anything back yet. Here's the key material I wrote to Jones (covering self-control and Prof Moffitt's findings - which Ritchie would later highlight in his review!)<br /><br />--<br /><br />As I think I mentioned in some kind of brief Twitter exchange we had, I still think that (some of?) your insightful global IQ findings may in fact be masking an even more causative factor - the role of stages of psychological development (which you could think of as the continuation of childhood Piagetian growth stages through our adult lives, something that is by now quite well documented). As I think I mentioned, the later (rarer) stages of adult Piagetian psychological growth are known as 'post-formal'. It's strongly related to a shift away from impulsiveness and towards self-control, I think.<br /><br />Unfortunately IQ tests are only good at assessing more concrete and, often, rational capacities - but the richer post-formal capacities just aren't captured by IQ tests at all (a forthcoming paper by Prof Michael Commons and others looks at IQ (via WAIS-IV) and psychological development stages and comes to this conclusion). Unfortunately assessing post-formal capacities is a bit more time-consuming than IQ tests, enough that the grand international insights you have shared just cannot be made, as yet, in relation to post-formal abilities. (Also, I'm not even sure anyone is trying to, at the moment).<br /><br />I don't have the time right now to back up my argument much. But I will just give one illustrative point.<br /><br />A key paper uncovered the hugely important role of self-control - showing how even assessed at age 4 or 5 it can have a massive impact on a whole range of life outcomes at age 40 - ie it concludes that "innovative policies that put self-control centre stage might reduce a panoply of costs that now heavily burden citizens and governments”.<br /><br />The paper is by Prof Terrie Moffitt and 12 others and is called 'A gradient of childhood self-control predicts health, wealth, and public safety': http://www.pnas.org/content/108/7/2693<br /><br />I spoke with Prof Moffitt, and she told me that this current research on self-control, is in many ways just a case of the 'old wine' of psychological development stages (ie Piaget, Loevinger etc) but in new bottles. Her team was definitely influenced by the psychological stage work, she said.<br /><br />Not only that, she spoke to the original researchers from when the Dunedin longitudinal study began in 1974 (data which her paper was based on) and found that their self-control assessment was partly based on Loevinger's assessment of psychological development stage. She hadn't even known that herself!<br /><br />I'm not trying to undermine all your fabulous findings, but I do feel that someone needs to get to the bottom of whether differences in developmental stage are the 'real' driving force here. IQ has a moderate correlation with psychological stage - so it's little wonder that IQ can be successfully used as a surrogate measure.

Tamed behavior is form of trust with human trainer, which is dependent on animals mental ability. Builder trust is form of learning behavior. Trusting stranger is form of mental prediction which needs even higher level of analytic ability.<br /><br />Projecting animal study onto human is what I called Rushton style of analysis. But in medical science, it is quite common to do so. Only on mental ability, human tried to set clear boundary from animals.

I would have thought the whole tenor of the book was against that notion,"</i><br /><br />Obviously, short term vs long term. In the short term, workers moving from low-IQ tohigh-IQ countries represent a significant increase in world GDP. Suppose a worker earning $1000 in low-IQ country earns $15,000 in a high IQ country. But wages represent only a fraction (50-70%) of the labour product, the remainder going to employers. So the increase in world GDP is on the order of $20-28,000. This is true even if the immigrant receives welfare transfers. Multiply the increase in world GDP by 1 million workers, and you get a pretty massive increase.<br /><br />The long term (economic) effects, however, include deterioration in institutional quality, if there are enough low-IQ immigrants. Of course low-IQ people typically vote at lower rates than average, so this effect would be the really long term.<br /><br /><br />Pseudoerasmushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07923086798508510324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624586630299165335.post-37845147633595190052016-01-27T12:28:54.539+00:002016-01-27T12:28:54.539+00:00"von Neumann was up there with Einstein for i..."von Neumann was up there with Einstein for importance in the 20th century": I doubt it.
