IQ Gains and the Binet Decrements.
Flynn, James R.
Journal of Educational Measurement, v21 n3 p283-90 Fall 1984
Thorndike's Stanford-Binet data suggest that from 1932 to 1971-72 preschool children enjoyed greater IQ gains than older children, possibly due to the rise of television. Additional analysis indicated that gains were either due to sampling error or totally antedated 1947. Gains of 12 IQ points were found for Americans. (Author/EGS)
