| [00:00.899] | All young men in Norway |
| [00:02.622] | must take a test of their cognitive ability at age nineteen |
| [00:07.557] | in preparation for required military service. |
| [00:10.862] | This is commonly called an IQ,or intelligence quotient test |
| [00:16.842] | The researchers compared the test results of one hundred seven thousand young men |
| [00:23.35] | to their years of school. |
| [00:25.281] | Taryn Ann Galloway is a researcher at the University of Oslo. |
| [00:31.171] | TARYN ANN GALLOWAY: |
| [00:32.841] | "The young men who were basically forced to stay in school |
| [00:35.491] | for two years longer actually did have higher IQs. |
| [00:38.15] | So,based on that, |
| [00:40.50] | we were able to say that increasing compulsory schooling |
| [00:42.530] | did actually have an effect on their cognitive abilities as measured at nineteen years of age." |
