So, once again, you believe in science as long as it doesn't conflict with your political view. The entire scientific FINDING of the book was that IQ is meaningful, measurable, and comparable across Demographics. Instead, you focus on the side effect which was the minor finding as to relative IQ across Demograpghics. It is the same, ignorant approach you use with global warming.
>>. The one other variable that is very important, is when people are indoctrinated at an early age with nonsense, like myths that have no scientific backing e.g. religion, or racism, it can greatly hinder their ability to learn
You do understand that intellect and the volume of information retained (learning) are different, right?
>>. hey did a study recently between rich kids and poor kids. By the time the rich kids are two years old, the poor kids are only operating at 18 months intellectually. By the time the rich kids are five years old, the poor kids are only operating at three years
So, what is your point? You are not trying to suggest that being poor detracts from intellectual growth, surely. Do, what are you saying?
*For the record, "baby talk" (called motherese) is not harmful in the development of normal speech. In fact, it is universal and occurs in practically all common language dialects, and is healthy parenting behavior. Young children's motor skills are not the same as those of an adult. And in fact, so called "baby talk" is often the parent's response to immature sounds the child makes. |
