Just to confirm, are you saying that higher education in western societies correlates with worse performance on the kinds of puzzles in this study?
I believe that Douglas is asserting not that the correlation is inversely related but that the direction of the causual relationship goes the other way. That is smarter, faster thinkers manage to stay in school longer.
