A recent study on IQ trends suggests that Gen Z may be the first generation to record lower average intelligence scores than the cohort before it, reversing the long-observed pattern of generational gains.
This finding implies that millennials could be the only generation to outperform their immediate successors on certain cognitive measures.
Researchers caution that such results reflect averages and are influenced by multiple factors, including changes in education quality, screen exposure, learning environments, and testing methods.
The debate highlights concerns about cognitive development in the digital age rather than fixed generational ability.
