ROSSI CASE, Lilia et al. Intelligence through generations: Millennials and centennials. Acta de investigación psicol [online]. 2018, vol.8, n.2, pp.90-100. ISSN 2007-4719.  https://doi.org/10.22201/fpsi.20074719e.2018.2.08.

This article shows the results in the construction of the Raven Progressive Matrices Test’s norms, for La Plata, Argentina. These results were compared with the results obtained in 1964 and 2000. A sample of 933 subjects of 19-30 years old that have completed the high school was selected. The Test was administrated collectively, without time limit and with the examiner’s presence. The results have been analyzed in four age groups: 19-20, 21-22, 23-24 and 25-30 years old, and then compared with the previous norms. It was found that the Flynn Effect is followed by a Plateau Effect: after a significant growth of average scores during the second half of the 20th century this effect has now stopped. The reasons that had explained their growth are not enough to explain this detention. The evaluated subjects are digital natives. These generational groups’ (Millennials and Centennials) characteristics are linked to technological advance. They build over this their ways of seeing the world and communicating. This could be having an impact on the scores, causing the Plateau Effect.
