Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Early childhood education programs have been shown to have long-term effects on increasing and maintaining IQ gains in disadvantaged children. Other strategies may have some benefits, but they may not result in lasting IQ gains. The use of video games may increase motivation and skill levels, but it is unclear whether it results in actual IQ gains. Brief coaching on test-taking strategies may result in temporary increases in test scores, but it does not necessarily increase overall intelligence. After-school tutorial programs may provide academic support, but may not result in significant IQ gains.
