Has anyone seen an FOI on @TeachFirst budget recently ?If getting £ for research, that needs to be reviewed if they engage in science denial

"We don't know how to raise cognitive ability" is not mainstream.
Definitely mainstream. No one knows how to raise intelligence in a robust fashion. Most optimistic & still legit researcher is @JProtzko.

just keep practicing the tests ;)
-
Raise IQ != raise general intelligence.
-
then why do they use IQ tests centrally in their resesrch?
-
a) necessary condition for showing you raised intelligence b) they don't know or want to do the latent variable analysis
-
oh it's b) that got me - why do you psychologists always assume that you are speaking to another psychologyst
-
the statistical analyses to show increases in general intelligence instead of just IQ are complicated and require lots of subjects and tests
-
The easiest method that doesn't require a lot of fancy stats is examining far transfer gains. E.g. WM training -> vocab gains.
-
Evidence does not support far transfer claims, however. http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1745691616635612 …pic.twitter.com/TDtC7hjH1a

Wouldn't some of my work mean we do have evidence (so far) on raising intelligence in some ways? Not everything works and nothing permanent
-
Some evidence, yes. I think we are in agreement that it is not totally convincing and that top priority is doing a big-ass RCT to find out.
-
I would settle for more RCTs and pre-registering them too

What a hell of a qualifier! I know it was meant as a compliment so thank you.

Lots of non-legit optimists around! :)

That is unfortunately too true
