Ability rise in NAEP and narrowing ethnic gaps

"most studies show that the gap has narrowed, and that those studies reaching a contradictory conclusion generally seem to do so due to methodological flaws."

-there is nothing inherent about black culture that produces crime rates; "Rather, persistently high rates on black crime appear to stem from the structural linkages among unemployment, economic deprivation, and family disruption among black communities"

"Diagnosing these artifacts suggests a nil hypothesis: East Asian, White, and Black adoptees raised in the same environment would have similar IQs, hinting at a minimal role for genes in racial IQ differences."

paper "suggests that the influences on intellectual development in this sample of black/interracial adoptees reared in white families are similar to those for children in the majority populations of the United States and Western Europe."

paper shows "how genetic contributions to traits, as estimated by polygenic scores, combine with environmental contributions so that differences among populations in trait distributions need not reflect corresponding differences in genetic propensity"

Effect of environmental factors on intelligence quotient of children

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
Infectious disease remains the most powerful predictor of average national IQ when temperature, distance from Africa, GDP, several measures of education are controlled for These findings suggest that the Flynn effect may be caused in part by the decrease in the intensity-
of infectious diseases as nations develop.

Current income explains only about half as much of the black-white test score gap as does permanent income, and the remaining gap in math achievement among families with the same permanent income is only 0.2 to 0.3 standard deviations in two commonly used data sets. When we add-
permanent income to the controls used by Fryer and Levitt (2006), the unexplained gap in 3rd grade shrinks below 0.15 standard deviations, less than half of what is found with their controls.
