James Flynn (2016). Does your Family Make You Smarter? Nature, Nurture, and Human Autonomy. info.
The first chapter 'Twins and autonomy' is some kind of summary. James Flynn will conclude the following (quote)
p. 9
Chapter 2 starts serious business. The important concept here seems to be the cognitive quality of the family environment. No, Flynn does not explain what it is, at least not on p. 12 (but see appendix p. 180). Neither does he point out that there is a strenuous relation between that concept and the family genes. Having said that, it seems impossible that the child's genes and the cognitive quality of the family environment are independent variables, not being correlated. This is one of the stumble blocks making it difficult to understand what exactly Flynn is trying to do in this first part of his new book.
Ch 2 p. 13, introduces a serious confusion of 'true' and 'measured' vocabulary. What exactly does Flynn mean where he writes 'students whose vocabulary puts them at +2 SD above average'? Is it 'true' vocabuary, or is it 'level of performace' (on a vocab test) as mentioned in the preceding sentence? Is it possible for a psychometrician to conclude from some top score on a vocab test that a particular student is 98th percentile in true vocabulary? In his tables Flynn strongly suggests they are dealing with observed scores. Yet it is impossible for a +2 SD score to correspond to a +2 SD 'true' vocabulary. Flynn is talking of true vocabularies and observed vocabularies (at +1 SD etcetera) at the same time.
Ch 2, p. 18, turns the reasoning around, without mentioning as much; '.. those who would get an SAT-R score of 544, if they came from from a home typical of of those who score at that level.
Appendix 1 p. 181 at the top: 'eliminating 30 percent from the bottom of a normal curve lifts the SD of the remainder by 0.4967 SD.' This is utterly confusing; the first 'SD' should be 'median' to make it reasonable. And again in the second alinea. Proof: how Flynn talks in the second half of this page. Back to. the top passage 1): I do not understand the reasoning here at all. Yet it is crucial to everything else that follows.
For the time being, I give up on the first part of Flynn's Does your family make you smarter. I do not understand what he is doing here, it is a big thought experiment. The second part of the book is very interesting, does not however touch on the title theme.
High heritability of IQ (tested in adult age), what is its significance, if any? For starters, the question itself is a reification of the abstraction. A test is an instrument, not a societal goal. These issues confused my reading of Flynn's 'Does your family make you smarter'? https://twitter.com/benwilbrink/status/947094569509892096 Richard Nisbett does not confuse me. In his 2009 ‘Intelligence and how to get it’ http://books.wwnorton.com/books/Intelligence-and-How-to-Get-It/- … p. 38: “The degree of heritability of IQ places constraint on the degree of modifiability that is possible. All geneticists accept this principle, but hereditarians often acknowledge the principle and then go on to write as if heritability does in fact place limits on modifiability.” An example in the last category: Asbury & Plomin 2014 ‘G is for genes’
Flynn does not touch on expertise (Anders Ericsson) and how that relates to common smartness. Yet it seems to be the case that the phenomena of expertness show the concept of rather fixed intelligence to be at fault, in somewhat the same way the existence of 'Flynn-effects' does.

The Steel Chain of Ideas
Jensen believed that intelligence is something that transcends culture, social history, and even species; a name for certain traits of a properly developed brain that allow us to solve the wide variety of cognitive prob- lems presented in everyday life. He based his beliefs on four pillars: factor analysis, kinship studies, the dominance of g (the general intelligence fac- tor), and the method of correlated vectors.

Is that true (what the title suggests)? I doubt it, therefore I'll have to study the book. Alfred Binet and Edward Thorndike are glaringly absent in the book. Francis Galton and James Flynn only mentioned in passing. The taboo Pinker is attacking is one of the later second half of the twentieth century, the dominant opinion in the first half (e.g. Edward Thorndike) being just the reverse.

We see here the fundamental contradiction inherent in the study of the genetics of evolution. On the one hand the Mendelian genetic system dictates the frequencies of genotypes as the appropriate genetic description of a population. The enumeration of these genotypes requires that the effect of an allelic substitution be so large as to make possible the unambiguous assignment of individuals to genotypes. On the other hand, the substance of evolutionary change at the phenotypic level is precisely in those characters for which individual gene substitutions make only slight differences as compared with variation produced by the genetic background and the environment. What we can measure is by definition uninteresting and what we are interested in is by definition unmeasurable. This paradox in one form or another has plagued population genetics since Chetverikov proposed in 1926 that the measurement of hidden genetic variation and its mechanism of maintenance were the central problems of evolutionary genetics. The paradox is not yet resolved, but recent advances in molecular biology and in population genetic theory, which are the substance of this book, offer some hope of a resolution.

Correlation is a concept that is eminently useful yet entails loads of misunderstandings, especially so in issues of heritability. Therefore it might be important to be clear about the roots of the concept.

Selective schools make no difference to GCSE results, study says. Analysis undercuts argument that grammar schools are needed for the brightest pupils to reach their full academic potential. Hannah Devlin Science correspondent @hannahdev Fri 23 Mar 2018 06.00 GMT page
The study is also the first to show up subtle genetic differences between children who attend selective schools and those who do not. However, the genetic scoring system used to classify children in the study is viewed as controversial, and scientists are divided on the extent to which it is a true index for intelligence or academic potential. ( .. )
The influence of genetics on achievement, Plomin suggested, is the “elephant in the classroom”, adding that in the future, genetic testing of children to predict their academic potential “will probably happen”. However, others questioned whether such a step would be useful or desirable.

The six points illustrate the mainstream position of especially American psychologists studying differences in intelligence. It is by no means the case, as H&M claim, that there is no technical dispute. The dispute was already going on at the turn of the 20th century, and many of the arguments are still valid today. Developments in recent years (after 1994) add new arguments: the Flynn effect, the network approach (Van der Maas and others), research on experts (Ericsson and others). Remark that nowhere do H&M refer to cognitive science: their treatment of intelligence is in terms of individual differences as measured by tests of cognitive ability in the (school) population. This individual differences frame is contingent on our (school) culture. In the field of education, contemporary folk conceptions of intelligence are derived from the psychologi cal dogmatism of, e.g., Edward Thorndike: intelligence does exist, it is a stable characteristic of the individual, therefore it must be genetic in origin.
@ 1: Yes, there is a positive manifold of cognitive abilities.
@ 2. Yes. I’d rather not call tests ‘measurements of this general factor’, though. @ 3. Yes. And that is a serious problem because what is reflected in ordinary language is folk psychology. Scientific psychology surely should not be folk psychology clad as pseudoscientific psychology. @ 4. This simply is not true. Education will make a difference. Environments make for differences, therefore changes in the environment will effect IQ scores. @ 5. IQ tests not biased? Come on. The APA Standards warn for bias! @ 6: The main question: small genetic differences get amplified in environmental dynamics. Heritability coefficients should not include those dynamics.

Kathy J. Cooke (1998). The Limits of Heredity: Nature and Nurture in American Eugenics Before 1915. Journal of the History of Biology, 31, 263-278. academia.edu 10 H. E. Jordan, “Heredity as a Factor in the Improvement of Social Conditions,” Amer. Breeders Mag., 2 (1991), 246-254, on p. 251. 11 Ibid., pp. 248, 253 12 Ibid., p. 251. Jordan’s view reflected the conviction of the many biologists who found it unwise if not impossible to try to distinguish the influence of physically inherited traits from the influence of the environment. In many cases scientists viewed them as truly inseparable. In 1908, Princeton biologist Edwin Grant Conklin emphasized the inherent relationship between the two when he tried to clarify the meaning of the word “heredity.” For Conklin, heredity was “not a unique principle for it is only similarity of growth and differentiation in successive generations.”13 Conklin’s view was reflected in the 1911 analysis of Frederick Adams Woods, a medical doctor and lecturer in biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who explained that many biologists doubted the possibility of separating environment and heredity. Woods himself hoped to refine scientific views of heredity and overcome the “older idea that heredity means resemblance between parent and offspring.”14 Still, for many biologists the word “heredity” was inextricably bound up with development, and could describe only past biological relationships. Moderate eugenicists, like Conklin, were aware of the difficulties involved in extricating environmental from hereditary effects, and thus advocated methods of social reform that included attention both to hereditary and environmental conditions.

Psychological Review, 108 346-369 abstract and pdf researchgate.net Op deze abstract-pagina ook een reeks direct relevante artikelen: First, the reciprocal causation between IQ and environment leads to a positive correlation between environment and genotype that masks the potency of environment. Because of this correlation, both direct effects of genotype on IQ and indirect effects through induced environments are measured by standard heritability estimates. Judging the size of the environmental effects by the fraction of variance not explained by genotype will understate its full magnitude because to do so ignores environmental effects induced by differences in genotype. Second, reciprocal causation produces a multiplier effect that inflates both genetic and environmental advantages by a process in which higher IQ leads one into better environments causing still higher IQ, and so on. Third, we hypothesize that at least three aspects of this process lead to averaging of many environmental influences. Because of the law of large numbers, this averaging allows environmental effects to be arbitrarily large relative to the variance of an index of their combined effect—even though they seem small relative to the variance of environmental effects not correlated with genetic endowment.

So for example, a common conclusion from this lab is the GPS are about to revolutionize education. The conclusion from the between-within comparison is that making educational decisions about children on the basis of their GPS score is mostly a matter of tracking poor kids into special classes. Do we really want to do that? The enthusiasm for (behavioral) GPS needs to be tempered by what we are learning about it.
