Lawrence Whalley's research on older Aberdonians' childhood IQ and cognitive decline was groundbreaking in the late 1980s. Childhood IQ predicted later cognitive decline, morbidity, and mortality independently of social class.
Whalley's study involved tracing individuals who took IQ tests in 1932 and 1947, correlating childhood IQ with later health outcomes. Environmental influences on cognitive decline were noted.
