James R. Flynn

James R. Flynn was a psychologist best known for discovering the "Flynn Effect," which shows that average IQ scores have increased over time across many countries. This suggests that people today tend to perform better on intelligence tests than previous generations. Flynn's work highlights how improvements in education, nutrition, and access to information might contribute to this trend. His research has helped deepen our understanding of intelligence as a dynamic, evolving characteristic influenced by environmental factors, rather than fixed innate ability.
