The observation that each generation tends to do better than the previous generation on IQ tests is known as the Flynn effect, named after James R. Flynn who first documented this trend in 1984. The Stroop effect is a phenomenon in psychology where it takes longer to name the color of a word if the word itself is the name of a different color. Spearman's g factor is a theory of general intelligence that suggests that intelligence can be measured and quantified by a single factor. The depth of processing principle refers to the idea that information that is processed at a deeper level (i.e. more meaningful and connected to existing knowledge) is better remembered than information processed at a surface level.
