School of Education, Flynn Effect 2: Political Enthusiasm Linda S. Gottfredson, PhD School of Education University of Delaware Newark, DE Schelling Symposium, “What is Intelligence?,” University of Maryland, November 19, 2007

School of Education, Flynn Effect seized as new rationale for failed policies Rekindles false hope that:  Intelligence is highly malleable  Despite all evidence to the contrary  Social policy can reduce social inequality by reducing IQ differences  Despite a half century of failed efforts Time to consider an alternative:  Cognitive barriers are malleable  Focus on lowering cognitive barriers, not changing people  Aid the most vulnerable by raising their quality of life, not by attempting to equalizing outcomes for all

School of Education, Complexity: Boon or Bane? Flynn Effect often explained as result of cultural complexity “exercising” people’s minds  Presumption: Complexity cognitive growth  Presumption: Complexity is good for us Stop!  Reality: IQ (g) is the ability to deal with cognitive complexity  Reality: Complexity cognitive barrier  Cognitive complexity enriches the lives of bright individuals, but creates roadblocks for everyone else

School of Education, Differences in g have highly predictable social effects Standardized academic achievement.8 Job performance—complex jobs Years of education.6 Occupational level Job performance—middle-level jobs.4-.5 Income.3-.4 Delinquency -.25 Job performance—simple jobs.2 g r

School of Education, The effects are important IQ MRMG Slow, simple, concrete, one-on- one instruction Very explicit, structured, hands-on Mastery learning, hands-on Written materials & experience Learns well in college format Can gather, infer information on own WhiteBlack Military trainability thresholds 10th15th30th

School of Education, Typical Occupations Differ by IQ Range IQ MRMG Assembler Food service Nurse’s aide Typical IQ range of workers Clerk, teller Police officer Machinist, sales Manager Teacher Accountant Attorney Chemist Executive No jobs centered here

School of Education, Effects pervade daily life: Functional Literacy (~g) NALS Level % pop (white) Simulated Everyday Tasks (National Adult Literacy Survey, 1993) 114%  Total bank deposit entry  Locate expiration date on driver’s license 225%  Determine difference in price between 2 show tickets  Locate intersection on street map 336%  Calculate miles per gallon from mileage record chart  Write brief letter explaining error on credit card bill 421%  Use eligibility pamphlet to calculate SSI benefits  Explain difference between 2 types of employee benefits 54%  Use calculator to determine cost of carpet for a room  Use table of information to compare 2 credit cards Reading grade level NOT READING PER SE, BUT: “complex information processing skills” “verbal comprehension & reasoning” “ability to understand, analyze, evaluate” g Predicts life outcomes in same pattern as does IQ Just a sample of the many tasks adults expected to learn on own

School of Education, Effects pervade daily life: Functional literacy NALS Level % pop (white) Simulated Everyday Tasks Adults aged %  Total bank deposit entry  Locate expiration date on driver’s license 225%  Determine difference in price between 2 show tickets  Locate intersection on street map 336%  Calculate miles per gallon from mileage record chart  Write brief letter explaining error on credit card bill 421%  Use eligibility pamphlet to calculate SSI benefits  Explain difference between 2 types of employee benefits 54%  Use calculator to determine cost of carpet for a room  Use table of information to compare 2 credit cards 38% 37% 21% 4% <1% % pop (black) At high risk (National Goals Panel)

School of Education, Importance of Literacy (g) in Health Self-Care % of urban hospital outpatients not knowing: Health literacy level V-lowLow OK How to take meds 4 times per day When next appointment is scheduled How many pills of a prescription to take What an informed consent form is saying Patients examine the actual vials or documents Many professionals have no idea how difficult these “simple” things are for others

School of Education, Accident Prevention is Cognitively Demanding: Motor Vehicle Deaths “People with lower IQ may have a poorer ability to assess risks and, consequently, may take more risks in their driving.” Australian veterans followed to age 40 Death rate per 10,000 IQ: above x 3x

School of Education, Literacy (g) critical in self-management of chronic disease: Insulin-Dependent Diabetics Urban hospital outpatients: % diabetics not knowing that: Health literacy level V-low Low OK Signal: Thirsty/tired/weak usually means blood sugar too high Action: Exercise lowers blood sugar Signal: Suddenly sweaty/shaky/hungry usually means blood sugar too low Action: Eat some form of sugar And these are their simplest tasks

School of Education, Correlation with factor  Learn and recall relevant information  Reason and make judgments  Deal with unexpected situations  Identify problem situations quickly  React swiftly when unexpected problems occur  Apply common sense to solve problems  Learn new procedures quickly  Be alert & quick to understand things Health self-care is a lifelong job: What makes some jobs especially complex? Job analysis 1 (Arvey, 1986) Job requirements:

School of Education, Specific tasks that increase job complexity Job analysis 2 (Gottfredson, 1997) Complex Simple r Self-direction Reason Update knowledge Analyze Lack of structure Criticality of position Transcribe Recognize Repetitive Physical exertion Supervision Combine information Advise Write Plan Negotiate, Persuade Coordinate Instruct Attorney Teller Custodian Patient?

School of Education, Smart people make life more complex for the rest of us (Scott Adam’s “Evolution of Idiots”)

School of Education, Cognitive hurdles increase with age & declining powers

School of Education, Complexity breeds cognitive error: We can reduce the risk of error 1. Mind the gap (between people’s abilities & task demands) 2. Provide cognitive assistance (for the most vulnerable) 3. Reduce task complexity (where needless) Cognitive resources Task complexity cognitive gap 2 3 1

School of Education, Example: Can audit the distribution of cognitive hurdles in health care IQ MRMG No. of tasks ?? ? ???????? ?? ? ?? Easy is unlikelyBroad range is more likely Medical advances increase complexity ? ?? ?

School of Education, Thank you.
