Newborns Intelligence Measured Only With Development
Dr. Nancy Bayley Reid, of the University of California, studied 61 newborns in Berkeley hospitals and found no reliable way to predict intelligence at birth. She noted later correlations: highly intelligent parents often have smart three-year-olds, yet at seven months those children may lag behind. The work suggests environment and development influence IQ, while heredity may also play a role. The study, a major psychological finding, received an award from the American Educational Research Association.
