Neuroscientist study reveals that Gen Z has become the first generation to be less intelligent than its predecessor, the Millennials

Recent research reveals that Generation Z is experiencing a decline in cognitive performance compared to Millennials, potentially reversing the Flynn effect. This decline is seen in average IQ scores and skills such as memory, literacy, and attention across the United States and Europe. Experts link this shift to environmental factors like the integration of digital technology and excessive screen time in educational and social settings. While some believe young people are developing different digital competencies, the consistent downturn in fluid intelligence has led some nations to limit classroom electronics.
