We have previously shown that the positive influence on intelligence depends on the educational level and starts to decline after upper-secondary school.
“Moreover, we have previously shown that the positive influence on intelligence depends on the educational level and that it starts to decline after upper-secondary school [29], which supports our observation of smaller increases in the population’s mean intelligence test score over time.”

We previously have shown that the positive influence of education on intelligence test scores is strongest among those with low intelligence in childhood.
“This may be explained by the population’s increasing educational level as we previously have shown that the positive influence of education on intelligence test scores is strongest among those with low intelligence in childhood [29].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
