如果有人跟你说,人类变得越来越笨了,你可能会不赞同,不过最近还真有这样的说法。欧洲一个由多国科学家组成的研究小组发现,人类的智商平均每十年会下降1.23分。研究人员是通过“反应速度”来推测智商的(据称,反应速度与智商及认知能力有显著的关系)。他们发现,1889年的欧洲男性平均反应速度大约是183毫秒,而2004年时,反应速度居然需要253毫秒。女性从1889年的188毫秒增加到了2004 If someone tells you that humans become more and more stupid, you may not agree, but recently there is such a statement. A European team of scientists from many nations found that on average, human intelligence dropped by 1.23 points per decade. The researchers speculate on IQ by “reaction speed” (allegedly, the reaction rate is significantly related to IQ and cognitive ability). They found that in 1889 the average response rate of men in Europe was about 183 milliseconds, while in 2004, the reaction rate actually takes 253 milliseconds. Women increased from 188 milliseconds in 1889 to 2004
