However, there is a paucity of studies about the effect of zinc supplementation on cognitive functions. This study is an attempt to quantify the impact of zinc supplementation on cognitive performance of schoolchildren. Ma...
متن کاملConsideration of cognitive variance components potentially solves Beauchamp's paradox.
Beauchamp (1) presents a paradox: There is genetic selection favoring reduced time spent in education, or educational attainment, among the contemporary population of the United States, amounting to an expected decline of 1.5 mo per generation. Despite this finding, the average time spent in education among this population has increased by 24 mo per generation (1). This paradox is analogous to ...
متن کاملHeterosis doesn't cause the Flynn effect: a critical examination of Mingroni (2007).
Mingroni (2007) proposed that heterosis or hybrid vigor may be the principal driver of the Flynn effect--the tendency for IQ scores to increase at a rate of approximately 3 points per decade. This model was presented as a resolution to the IQ paradox--the observation that IQ scores have been increasing despite their high adult heritability--on the basis that substantial changes in IQ can only b...
متن کاملThe Flynn effect and U.S. policies: the impact of rising IQ scores on American society via mental retardation diagnoses.
Over the last century, IQ scores have been steadily rising, a phenomenon dubbed the Flynn effect. Because of the Flynn effect, IQ tests are periodically renormed, making them harder. Given that eligibility for mental retardation (MR) services relies heavily on IQ scores, renormed tests could have a significant impact on MR placements. In longitudinal IQ records from 9 sites around the country, ...
متن کاملImpact of mini trampoline exercise on dynamic balance in old women
Introduction: An increase of age may cause an obvious effect on physiologic systems which are involved in the balance function. It is estimated that 6% of health care costs are spent on unintentional injuries in elderly population. The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of Mini-trampoline training on dynamic balance abilities in the elderly subjects. Methods: During a clinical tri...
