This smells like junk science to me.
I wonder how much of the problem has to do with not having their father around.
I’d venture to say it has plenty to do with it.
There is no way that they differ only in socioeconomic status. I'm sure that they differ in many other ways. But let's start with why they are in that particular socioeconomic status. Could it be that their parents are not too bright? Both DNA and environment have entered into the picture. The actual explanation is likely to be much more complicated than portrayed here.
Of course it's much more PC to claim that poverty causes low IQ rather than acknowledge that the reverse is true.
These kids are probably getting no mental stimulation at all, I’d bet that the majority of their parents yell at their kids instead of sitting down and talking to them or reading to them.

How enlightening Berzerkley, now we can fix all of our social ills with guess what? More money. We'll make the 'poor' rich and the 'rich' poor and all will be fine with the lil' one's gray matter. (
