Percent in Normal IQ Range (higher than 84) by Age (Abecedarian Project)
Martin, Ramey, & Ramey, 1990, American Journal of Public Health

Most of the children in both the experimental and control groups of the Abecedarian study were in the normal IQ range at the beginning of the study. Those who received the Abecedarian intervention continued to stay in the normal IQ range, while more than half of those who did not receive the intervention fell out of the normal range by 48 months of age.
