研究称：贫穷可影响两岁幼童智商 Poverty affects the intelligence of children as young as two, a study has found - and its impact increases as the child ages. 英国一项研究发现，贫穷会影响年仅两岁儿童的智力，且影响力会随年龄增长而加强。 Deprived young children were found to have IQ scores six points lower, on average, than children from wealthier families。 贫困家庭儿童的IQ(智力商数)比富裕家庭儿童平均低六分。 And the gap got wider throughout childhood, with the early difference tripling by the time the children reached adolescence。 随着儿童的年龄渐长，该差距会逐渐拉大，到步入青春期时穷人家的孩子与富人家孩子的智商差距会比幼儿期大两倍。 Scientists from Goldsmiths, University of London compared data on almost 15,000 children and their parents as part of the Twins Early Development Study (Teds)。 来自伦敦金史密斯大学的科学家比较分析了近一万五千名儿童及其父母的资料，这些资料是孪生儿童早期发展研究(Teds)的部分数据。 The study is an on-going investigation socio-economic and genetic links to intelligence。 孪生儿童早期发展研究致力于智力与社会经济和遗传的关系研究，目前仍在进行。 Children were assessed nine times between the ages of two and 16, using a mixture of parent-administered, web and telephone-based tests。 研究综合了包括家长[微博]执行的测试和基于网络、电话的多种测试后，对年龄在两岁和十六岁间的儿童进行九次分析。 The results, published in the journal Intelligence, revealed that children from wealthier backgrounds with more opportunities scored higher in IQ tests at the age of two, and experienced greater IQ gains over time。 这项发表于《智力》(Intelligence)杂志的研究结果显示，两岁儿童的家庭经济背景越好，其智商获高分的几率越大，日后的智商增长也更大。 Dr Sophie von Stumm, from Goldsmiths, University of London, who led the study, said: We’ve known for some time that children from low socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds perform on average worse on intelligence tests than children from higher SES backgrounds, but the developmental relationship between intelligence and SES had not been previously shown。 来自伦敦金史密斯大学的索菲·冯·斯蒂姆博士是该研究的负责人，他说：“目前我们的认知是：社会经济地位背景低的孩子，其智力测试结果普遍比家庭背景好的孩子差。但我们还未找到智力和社会经济地位的深层关系。 Our research establishes that relationship, highlighting the link between SES and IQ。 “我们的研究确认了两者存在联系，突出了社会经济地位和智商二者的关系。 We hope that our findings will drive future research into the specific mechanisms and
