Texts have been getting simpler. See Woodley on that topic.It could make a difference in intelligence measures aimed at showing historical changes, but would not make any visible difference to tests normed on representative people each decade, which is the conventional approach. In sum, if our language has become impoverished IQ tests will not be the best way of showing that: historical comparisons of texts and examination papers would be better. Complicating factor is that literacy and higher education used to be available to a few, probably brighter individuals, and is now open to almost all above average students, so a pure comparison is difficult.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09320614837348759094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624586630299165335.post-26821747338177508302015-02-25T08:41:10.330+00:002015-02-25T08:41:10.330+00:00Dear Mark, Very good question.

So far as I know, you cannot avoid test-retest effects, you can only measure them and allow for them. If you assume that very few things you experience leave no trace in memory (see next post when I finish it) then you are probably on the right track. Wechsler tests used to give a six month break to avoid re-test gains. Now they concede the break should be one to two years (the longer times for performance type tests, if I remember correctly). So, I don't think you can avoid some gains on most material. Have a look at my post on g loadings for the Wechsler, and then you will have to dig up some retest data to check my impressions. There might be a golden sweet spot of high g, low retest gains for you to utilise, but I cannot call one to mind at the moment. Time for others to chip in? Will tweet the question.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09320614837348759094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624586630299165335.post-51444622294138960282015-02-25T07:42:40.744+00:002015-02-25T07:42:40.744+00:00I haven't seen a widespread mention of this pa...I haven't seen a widespread mention of this paper regarding verbal abilities.<br /><br />Schoolbook Simplification and Its Relation to the Decline in SAT-Verbal Scores, Donald P.

I know from previous research that a significant portion of the Flynn Effect comes from simple test-taking savvy, and I'm wondering if you know what kinds of subtests or items show little in the way of test-retest gain (unlike Raven matrices), but at the same time have high g-loadings (unlike simple reaction time).<br />Markhttp://awesomescience.us/noreply@blogger.com
