[quote=Anonymous][quote]Well, I'm sure you realize that working memory is a part of IQ tests right?

There are a TON of other research that shows that IQ does indeed predict many positive things, including academic achievement. They tested kids at 5, then checked their grades at 11. IQ's at 5 are notoriously affected by home environment, both positively and negatively.
IQ's at a later age are much more stable and indicative of a childs intelligence. They would get VERY different results IMO if they tested IQ at age 10 and them followed them for 15 years. But of course they don't want to do that, because they're trying to promote the book they're selling. [/quote]

If you use your brain, even after 15 years, your measured IQ will improve.  Just like muscle.  I see document this all the time in my medical practice.  The physiology and plasticity of the brain is as marvelous as that of skeletal muscle.

The authors of the book simply do not have the long-term follow-up.  Longitudinal studies take time and resources to execute.[/quote]
