Now I wondered if anyone on our list has developed or knows about a
presentation for faculty or students that presents the kinds of data and
studies that support this view along with Dweck's work? I’m especially
interested in down loadable graphs of any of the data for a possible
PowerPoint presentation on this topic? It seems to me that this kind of
presentation might be useful to all of us interested in having students
who were more interested in deep learning rather than more superficially
focused on looking smart.

Perhaps one useful starting point would be to review the work on
the "Flynn effect," the finding that IQ scores have been
increasing in many countries at a rate of almost 3 points/10 year
period. My understanding is that the effect is well-documented
and the fascinating, un-answered question is why the effect occurs.
I like this topic because it avoids immediately setting off the
hot-button debate about race & IQ differences, which usually ends
up as a shouting match.
