I believe all newborns have lower IQs I guess it remains to be seen if their actual potentials are lower.

There were no MRIs taken of the kids that might show CoVID blood clots in brains, according to the study.

That, and antibody testing for CoVID exposure are necessary for this study to have value.

Well, that’s silly; nobody wears masks at home.

The whole premise of this article is false - it’s striking how much baloney has accompanied this plague.

They don’t test IQs at that age.

The story is BS from a BS study, not peer reviewed.

Gee, I wonder if isolating kids and not allowing social interaction might play a role?

“How do the test IQ on kids that are 18 months old?”

“a US study suggests.”

“Experts say...”

“Publish or perish!”

...do they stack cups,

Excellent way to test for future animal preference.
Future dog person stacks cups.
Future cat person thinks “No! Stack ‘em yourself if you want ‘em stacked!”

The biggest reason behind the falling scores is likely the lack of stimulation and **interaction at home**.

Plop a kid down in front of a TV computer or video game not goes on in the mind.

which is yet to be peer-reviewed.

Not a peer but am giving it a thumbs down.

IOW, they're saying being home with parents is bad and lowers IQs so it's best the government takes over raising kids. Yeah, put little Johnny in Pre-Pre-Preschool when he's a day old.

Yeah, I agree. It is a function of who stayed home and who kept going to work.

Uh it’s been one year. How are they testing IQs of one year olds?

Bingo! You aren’t supposed to notice things like that.
There is NO way to measure the IQ of a child that young. None.
But they sure as hell are measuring the IQ’s of the adults who fall for this codswallop.

If you delay a child’s foundational cognitive development for the 1st two years, will they ever “catch up”?

I’m guessing not.

For many things, there are windows where certain kinds of learning take place and when it is closed, the child ages out, whatever he got then is it.

Focus on the Family did a series many years ago about increasing the intelligence of your child.

Turns out that between the ages of 8-18 months, social interaction, especially with mom, makes a HUGE difference.

It involves eye to eye contact when talking to the child, and talking to them on an adult level. Apparently, by talking to them like that instead of baby talk, talking down to them, challenges them to use more brain power to figure things out.

Also, sitting down with them and reading to them is also big, as well as simply doing things with them. Ordinary, everyday things.

Maybe we can blame the mandatory masks that were worn by pregnant women.

For years, now, pregnant mothers have been told that they should not smoke, because smoking reduces oxygen levels to their unborn children and can cause all sorts of problems.
