      Raising IQ != raising intelligence. If I take the same test over and over, my IQ goes up, but my intelligence stays the same. If I give testees half the answers, their IQs go up, but they didn't get smarter. You get the point. http://arthurjensen.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Raising-IQ-Without-Increasing-g-Review-of-Howard-L.-Garbers-The-Milwaukee-Project-Preventing-Mental-Retardation-in-Children-at-Risk-1989-by-Arthur-Robert-Jensen.pdf …https://twitter.com/WiringTheBrain/status/928182568696143872 …

      How much does education improve intelligence? A meta-analysis https://psyarxiv.com/kymhp/  Important paper by @StuartJRitchie + @tuckerdrob shows IQ not fixed. Education makes people smarter.

      Biologically, learning literally changes the neuro network, building new and denser connections. How could it not change intelligence?

      Taking the same test over and over does not increase your ability to solve new, unrelated problems. That is what general intelligence is (psychometric school). If you think so, I recommend that you spend at least an hour a day solving Raven's matrices. ;)

      Basic logical argument: Intelligence is a function of brain structure and organization. Brain structure/organization can be altered via experience/stimulus. Therefore, intelligence can be altered via experience/stimulus.

      Getting hit in the head repeatedly also alters brain structure and organization. So does falling from a great height or catching an artillery shell. Though I agree that a person who has knowledge of math will be more able to solve problems than a person who doesn't.

      How about the effects of sex and thyroid hormones? Cortisol? We all know lead can retard brain development and lower IQ. Biological development of the brain is a complicated process

      Actually, I looked into the experimental lead -> lower intelligence evidence in animals. It is surprisingly weak. Makes you wonder if this is another finding that ain't true...

      So we should all start drinking leaded wine again?

      No, we should do some more better studies to find out what the truth is for certain.

          I have a lengthy argument I would like to put forth about language acquisition and brain development as evidence of brain plasticity and learning during growth and development... but it's Friday night. Time for wine instead of work 🍷
