You might want to read the second paragraph of your link. It's extremely relevant. Throughout much of the developed world we've started seeing reduced IQs since sometime around the mid 90s. Wiki has a link to a fair number of contemporary papers and other information as well. [1] To be clear this does not mean a decline in the rate of growth of IQ, but as in people having literally lower IQ.
I expect one reason we have not seen this reversal more well studied in places such as the US is that we don't have any normalized form of IQ tests. The areas where it showed up first, Scandinavian nations in particular, have compulsory military enlistment which, in turn, comes with compulsory IQ examinations. People in many (and it may end up being all) developed nations are literally becoming less intelligent, at least so far as IQ is able to work as a measurement of.
