Interestingly, the scores have been in free fall since the pandemic started and cannot be explained by learning loss from lockdowns as the effects are observed even after in school learning has resumed.
One possible explanation is cognitive loss due to covid infections:
I hope it’s not true. I don’t know if I had COVID or not but If I Iose about 10 points in IQ then that’s a big L. I don’t wanna be academically mediocre
I’ve had a few uni professors complain about it. COVID really does a number on your brain long term, but the only common effect is difficulty recalling certain things.
It seems to be for severe cases. I may have had COVID myself, and I hope my brain fog is an aspect of my Autism/ADHD and something that can be fixed after I recover from Autistic burnout.
