Drs. Wright and Huston were chosen because they had done a similar study in 1980-83 in Topeka, Kan., analyzing television viewing by young children and its effect on various intellectual measures, although not on school test results or school readiness.
One longitudinal study showed that teenagers who were extremely low birth weight as newborns, function less well on intellectual measures compared to age-matched peers, especially in arithmetic (Saigal et al. 2000).
As the only cognitive assessment at age 26 was reading comprehension, we are unable to test whether the same finding would also obtain general intellectual measures or other specific cognitive measures.
In spite of the low pay, I accepted the position because I figured it would offer a terrific learning experience and because it would allow me to see how my skill sets (both technical and intellectual) measured up against those of some of the finest scientists and students in the country.
Regressing the individual cheating levels on subjects' gender and their intellectual achievement measures exhibited no significant differences in cheating between males and females.

It reports the results of a two-round experiment designed to expose student cheating at the individual level and correlate it with three intellectual achievement measures: the GPA, the high-school matriculation average grade (MAG) and the psychometric exam score (PES).
In our previous work we found that intellectual lifestyle measures significantly predicted cognitive performance; therefore we included these variables as surrogates of cognitive reserve in the model (Vemuri et al., 2012).
In a 1978 paper for the British Medical Journal, they claimed that levels of acetylcholine 'decreased significantly as the mean plaque count rose' and that the reduction in acetylcholine 'correlated with the extent of intellectual impairment' measured by standard tests (Perry et al., 1978: 1457).
Whatever the numbers: intellectual dick-measuring isn't to everyone's tastes anyway.
