--**Title:** *"Is there a Dysgenic Secular Trend Towards Slowing Simple Reaction Time?"*
--**DOI:** [10.1016/j.intell.2014.05.012](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.intell.2014.05.012)
--**Subject Matter:** *Cognitive Decline, Intelligence, Dysgenics*
--
-----
--
--## **Key Statistics**
--1. **General Observations:**
--   - The study examines reaction time data from **13 age-matched studies** spanning **1884–2004**.
--   - Results suggest an estimated **decline of 13.35 IQ points** over this period.
--
--2. **Subgroup Analysis:**
--   - The study found **slower reaction times in modern populations** compared to Victorian-era individuals.
--   - Data from **Western countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, Finland)** were analyzed.
--
--3. **Other Significant Data Points:**
--   - The estimated **dysgenic rate is 1.21 IQ points lost per decade**.
--   - Meta-regression analysis confirmed a **steady secular trend in slowing reaction time**.
--
-----
--
--## **Findings**
--1. **Primary Observations:**
--   - Supports the hypothesis of **intelligence decline due to genetic and environmental factors**.
--   - Reaction time, a **biomarker for cognitive ability**, has slowed significantly over time.
--
--2. **Subgroup Trends:**
--   - A stronger **correlation between slower reaction time and lower general intelligence (g)**.
--   - Flynn effect (IQ gains) does not contradict this finding, as reaction time is a **biological, not environmental, measure**.
--
--3. **Specific Case Analysis:**
--   - Cross-national comparisons indicate a **global trend in slower reaction times**.
--   - Factors like **modern neurotoxin exposure** and **reduced selective pressure for intelligence** may contribute.
--
-----
--
--## **Critique and Observations**
--1. **Strengths of the Study:**
--   - **Comprehensive meta-analysis** covering over a century of reaction time data.
--   - **Robust statistical corrections** for measurement variance between historical and modern studies.

--   - **Reaction time measurements vary by study**, requiring adjustments for equipment differences.
--
--3. **Suggestions for Improvement:**
--   - Future studies should **replicate results with more modern datasets**.
--   - Investigate **alternative cognitive biomarkers** for intelligence over time.
--
-----
--
--## **Relevance to Subproject**
--- Provides evidence for **long-term intelligence trends**, contributing to research on **cognitive evolution**.
--- Aligns with broader discussions on **dysgenics, neurophysiology, and cognitive load**.
--- Supports the argument that **modern societies may be experiencing intelligence decline**.
--
-----
--
--## **Suggestions for Further Exploration**
--1. Investigate **genetic markers associated with reaction time** and intelligence decline.
--2. Examine **regional variations in reaction time trends**.
--3. Explore **cognitive resilience factors that counteract the decline**.
--
-----
--
--## **Summary of Research Study**
--This study examines **historical reaction time data** as a measure of **cognitive ability and intelligence decline**, analyzing data from **Western populations between 1884 and 2004**. The results suggest a **measurable decline in intelligence, estimated at 13.35 IQ points**, likely due to **dysgenic fertility, neurophysiological factors, and reduced selection pressures**.
