Cognitive abilities declined between 2006 and 2018 across three of four broad domains of intelligence, the study found. Researchers tracked falling scores in logic, vocabulary, visual and mathematical problem-solving and analogies, the latter category familiar to anyone who took the old SAT.”
Ya know, I was starting to lose faith in my website. Even though my writing is more therapy for myself than it is trying to justify its existence to others, I have felt at times I sounded like a broken record, banging my head against a wall as a frustrated above-average person in an increasingly dumber country.
