> Bet you think the Flynn effect is about real gains in the underlying g factor LMAONo, the Flynn effect occurs because of a combination of factors:
- More children go to school for longer.
- Because of technology, school is becoming more and more about training cognitive skills instead of just being about rote memorization.

- Fewer children per family in average (children in average are less neglected).
- Urbanization (which demands a higher cognitive load than rural living).
