Question 9

research weakness AO3 Burt

Answer 9

Once research is published, the effects can be long- Cyril Burt published findings suggesting that intelligence is inherited, leading to the separation of children based on their ability once they had completed an intelligence test at age 11 (the ’11+’, which decided if a child went to a grammar school or not). Burt’s findings were later found to have been based on invented data, but the test remained in place for a long time afterwards, and the idea that there is a ‘natural’ level of intelligence still remains amongst many people. This shows the potential consequences of socially sensitive research.
