Ehhh... yeah, you're right, in that there's no known single prescription/intervention for increasing intelligence. But we do know that among siblings there's a correlation between being the first child and being the most intelligent. It seems parental bandwidth is important. So maybe not necessarily reading (as I said), but just spending time with them.
Also, side note, IQ is garbage and not a good measure of intelligence.
- JamesBarney 9y agoI don't know if I'm familiar with an intelligence measure that is superior to IQ. What would you suggest? But the first born effect could be parental bandwidth but it could also be other effects. Age of parent, interactions between siblings, etc...
- ebfd 9y agoWhat metric has better predictive power than IQ?
