Please fill in the blank, capitalizing the first letter of the word you type. If a representative sample of today’s children took the Stanford-Binet test used in 1932, about one-fourth would be classified as “intellectually superior,” which is a label accorded to less than three percent of the population today. This represents a considerable improvement in intelligence–as measured on an IQ test–over a very short period of time. This is known as the _______________ effect.
