Domain-specific¶
- Flynn Effect
- … tested on older, "stale" norms scores higher than they would on fresh ones, so courts in the wake of Atkins v. Virginia (which barred executing the intellectually disabled) now weigh Flynn corrections — subtracting roughly the per-decade gain times the test's age — when eligibility turns on a few points
This sourceArgues for the Flynn correction - roughly three points per decade of norm age - at the intellectual-disability threshold in capital cases; it is one side of a live professional dispute, and the Atkins holding needs its own citation.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
