Detailed explanation-1: -The Flynn effect refers to a secular increase in population intelligence quotient (IQ) observed throughout the 20th century (1–4). The changes were rapid, with measured intelligence typically increasing around three IQ points per decade.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Flynn effect implies that an individual will likely attain a higher IQ score on an earlier version of a test than on the current version.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Flynn Effect is the tendency of IQ scores to change over time, and specifically, the apparent increase in intelligence in the general population evidenced by a steady increase in IQ scores. It was first noticed by James Flynn.
