The Fadeout Effect
The fadeout effect is a phenomenon where the intelligence gained from environmental interventions, decreases over time. John Protzko, a psychologist in the University of California, created a paper testing whether the environmental interventions are bidirectional. In order words, Protzko wanted to determine if interventions that have raised IQ, will sustain their effects. He tested 7584 participants with 39 randomized control trials while using a mixed-effects analysis. He analyzed the data using growth curve analysis with meta-analytic weights and tested the change of intelligence over time. In the results of his growth curve analysis, it showed that the effects of early intervention had a significant decrease in intelligence …show more content…
(1995) supports Protzo’s Fade Out Effect and gives a reason to why the Fade Out Effect occurs, specifically using the outcome of Project Head Start. Both Lee and Loeb agreed that children who participated in the Head Start Program had a decline in their IQ and intelligence levels because their education and knowledge that they gained during the program was not reinforced. The children who partook in the Project Head Start program are still apart of families who come from a low demographic and participated in lower quality ____ for both elementary school and middle school.
"Head Start Fade", in which significant initial impacts quickly fade, has often been observed, as early as second and third grade.[28][29][30] One hypothesis is that the decline is because Head Start participants are likely to attend lower-quality schools, which fail to reinforce Head Start gains.[28]

Two other studies in the Consortium for Longitudinal Studies reported effects on IQ of about 1/2 standard deviation, gone by age
