Louisa comes from a happy, middle class home. Adults in her life talk to her and take interest in her. She is involved in sports and extracurricular classes. Her parents take her on vacation every year and are always available to help her with homework. Louisa performs very well in school and has a high IQ. Which factor most contributes to Louisa’s intelligence?
  1. Heritability
  2. Flynn effect
  3. Nutrition
  4. Family experience
Explanation
Answer: D -Family experience is an important factor in intelligence. Early childhood exposure to books and educational toys, opportunities to visit new people and places, and the ability to talk to adults are correlated with higher intelligence. This factor is difficult to separate from heritability because family members often share the family experience and privileges.
