Question

the counterpoint author believes that the flynn effect disproves the notion that intelligence is fixed at birth mainly because
□ a video games are such a popular form of entertainment
□ b if the worldwide average iq increases over time, then iq cant be determined genetically
□ c as our ability to process visual information increases, so do our iqs
□ d it shows that as time goes by, the worlds intelligence stays the same

Explanation:

The Flynn effect refers to the observed rise in average IQ scores over time. If average IQ increases over time, it suggests that intelligence is not solely determined by genetics (fixed at birth), as genetic factors would not change in such a short - term population - wide manner. Option A about video games is not relevant to the main argument of the Flynn effect disproving fixed - at - birth intelligence. Option C focuses on visual information processing rather than the overall concept of the Flynn effect and fixed intelligence. Option D is contrary to the idea of the Flynn effect which shows an increase in intelligence over time.

Answer:

B. If the worldwide average IQ increases over time, then IQ can't be determined genetically
