Are People Getting Less Intelligent? Experts Explain Why IQ Scores Are Falling

IQ scores falling across several countries has sparked a growing debate about whether people are becoming less intelligent. For decades, average IQ scores steadily increased, leading many experts to believe that each generation was becoming mentally sharper. However, recent research from different parts of the world suggests that this long-standing trend has slowed - and in some places, even reversed. Scientists, however, caution against jumping to conclusions. Rather than signalling a decline in human intelligence , these changes may reflect how modern lifestyles, technology, education and daily habits are reshaping the way our brains process information.
