Talk:Effect of health on intelligence

message: Another study found that pregnant women who consumed 340 grams of low-mercury containing fish with fatty acids per week have benefits that outweigh the risks for mercury poisoning. 
Can't they just use substitutes for example omega 3-rich Linseed oil(flax oil)? Then Omega 3 is provided with no mercury exposure.I think this should be noted.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.10.81.69 (talk) 23:42, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

message: What does "Dutch conscripts" mean? In context, I thought at first it must mean Dutch civilians conscripted by the Nazis during the famine. "Draftees" or some other wording is needed to indicate that these intelligence measures pertain to those who were infants or prenatal individuals during the year 1944 but measured when they were conscripted for military service--unless I've guessed wrong about the actual intended meaning.

thread_title:  slight  clarification 

message: The following modifications might be well-placed in order to preserve article objectivity : 
“A group of largely African American urban first-grade children and their caregivers were evaluated using self-report, interview, and standardized tests, including IQ tests.”, should be converted to : 
As a example, a group of largely African American urban first-grade children and their caregivers were evaluated using self-report, interview, and standardized tests, including IQ tests.”
There are other possible improvements that could be made within this section.  Making a point of the physiological action of the stress-hormone cortisone (I believe that this is the correct term) would provide a scientific basis/rationale for how IQ and intelligence (which are often given as having some sort of underlying physiological basis) can affect intelligence scores and the like.  Of course, the brain in a complex entity, so making a point concerning how there may be a complex interaction between the physiological mechanisms of stress and other emotional stimuli would be valid.  
I might add that I predict that others will criticise this section for making two specific mentions of one particular ethnic group over another.  This might be interpreted as contravening article objectivity (even though they are only examples).  Perhaps it would be best to focus on mixed group studies, as it done in relation to reference 59 (which occurs `at' the phrase “and lower IQ in children of all races.”).

thread_title: Comments On the Stress Section

message: "Health" is an overly broad and vague concept.  Perhaps this article should be split into "Nutritional Correlates of Intelligence", "Drug Use Correlates of Intelligence", "Disease Correlates of Intelligence" and "Lifestyle Correlates of Intelligence".    Each of those articles could be quite large, assuming Naturalism.   Jwray (talk) 12:02, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

message: You may find it helpful while reading or editing articles to look at a bibliography of  Intelligence Citations, posted for the use of all Wikipedians who have occasion to edit articles on human intelligence and related issues. I happen to have circulating access to a huge academic research library at a university with an active research program in these issues (and to another library that is one of the ten largest public library systems in the United States) and have been researching these issues since 1989. You are welcome to use these citations for your own research. You can help other Wikipedians by  suggesting new sources through comments on that page. It will be extremely helpful for articles on human intelligence to edit them according to the  Wikipedia standards for reliable sources for medicine-related articles, as it is important to get these issues as well verified as possible. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk) 16:23, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
