You are able to use the factor analysis, in which weighs the different scores of test
Explain the first study which includes rats ?
The first study contained the breeding of rats based on the completion of a maze, in which he found that after generations there were few errors occurring less often
Who did the first study?
Cooper and Zubeck
What was so crazy that was found on human genetics
that studies have suggested that there might be a connection between genetic influence and the results of an IQ test
Whos us Cyril Burt?
He found that mz reared aprt are similar to mz are are reared together
Whos is arthur jensen
he began to suggest that ethnic differences in IQ might involve genetic differences
What was the Hawaii family study
