This seems weak to me, esp. data on people of Asian ancestry in U.S. Also, even estimated cranial capacity has only R~=0.3-0.4 to IQ if same age, and R=0.46 for capacity at infancy vs at age 7. Noisy. https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-relationship-between-cranial-capacity-and-IQ-in-modern-humans … https://abc102.wordpress.com/2011/02/17/brain-size-and-correlates-with-iq/ … https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160289697900040 …
Asians are smaller, so one needs to adjust for that, not done above. The individual level correlation is not so important for comparing groups. Confusion of levels. See alsohttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2668913/ …
Definitely agree with your second point and wanted to include it, but ran out of space. This issue comes up quite often in e.g. quant finance also. Regarding first sentence, though, very interesting that this does not appear to affect IQ across sexes.
Encephalization quotients using various divisors differ systematically between men and women, but group mean IQ appears identical in every reliable study I have seen on the subject.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2668913/figure/fig2/ …
This is the explanation from the cited paper, but (a) the claimed late-adolescent IQ difference only appears in some studies and not others, (b) encephalization quotients already differ before then, (c) purported domain-specific explanation rather muddled: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2668913/ …pic.twitter.com/kHoSRnggKs
It's a 9 year old review by now. I'm not so sure about the null sex difference. See recent findings here. http://mankindquarterly.org/archive/issue/58-1 … Remember that test makers have often tried to build tests so they show no gaps. This gerrymandering of items can be done to some extent.
Fair points. Given known processes of CNS maturation extend to at least age 25, while relatively unbiased samples become quite difficult to obtain beyond roughly age 16-18, it is at least conceivable. Timing of male late growth spurts does come awfully close to that limit.
Any late gap would still be constrained rather tightly by data on entrance exams, grades, representation, etc. ~3-4 points max seems plausible. Certainly, subscale weights matter. Beyond IQ, differences in social and communication functions etc. shape outcomes, but tangential.
Another option is that spatial ability matters more than we think. It is currently not measured much, guess why. :p
Have often pondered that omission; granted, partly loads on e.g. SAT-M. But confused by discussion of no correlation w/ cranial volumetric data. If there were indeed sufficient correlation, could explain nature of volumetric discrepancy by sex. Presumably used for something.
