  a. Unusual difficulty hearing individual sounds in spoken words
  b. Grammatically incorrect speech (e.g., She goed to the store)
  c. A tendency to read words backwards (e.g., reading ball as lab)
  d. Mispronunciations of everyday words (e.g., pronouncing school as schtool)

Question 2

In one or two sentences, explain what theorists mean by the Flynn effect. Then, in three additional paragraphs, describe three credible explanations for this effect.

Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

The Flynn effect is the slow but steady increase in performance on intelligence tests and similar measures across the industrialized world. Possible explanations for this effect include the following (the response should include at least three):
 Better nutrition, leading to more optimal conditions for brain development
 Better home environments (e.g., more toys, puzzles, books, etc.)
 Smaller family sizes, leading to more one-on-one time between parents and children and more resources per child
 Higher education levels for parents
 Better schooling for children
 More access to information sources (television, reading materials, computers, etc.)
