Forty-Year Secular Trends in Cognitive Abilities.

Teasdale, T. W.; Owen, David R.

Intelligence, v28 n2 p115-20 2000

Shows changes in the distribution of scores on a set of tests used by the Danish draft board since the late 1950s to the present. The marked gains in cognitive abilities seen in the earlier years have been replaced by very modest gains in the last 10 years. These recent gains appear primarily in a test of visuo-spatial abilities. (Author/SLD)
