Why do you believe that? Are there any studies proving the nature vs nurture debate? It seems like the techniques followed can be equally applied to all children, e.g. imagine this being officially taught in nursery schools.
> I think it could also be the case that the adult intelligence level will not be greatly affected by any kind of learning technique or pace during childhood
Again, where is this coming from? The child will start earlier and will have more time to learn more advanced subjects than their peers, which could definitely lead to higher intelligence at any given age

- strix_varius 3y ago80% is generally the upper limit that studies have reported, and for teens / adults. Heritability of IQ presents at a far lower rate for children: around 20%.
