In the early 20th century, the psychologist Henry Goddard hypothesized that #x27;feeblemindedness #x27; was a genetic trait. To find evidence for his theory, he gave individuals and children an intelligence test. For one child (Deborah), he traced their family lineage to see if other members of their family were also quot;feebleminded. quot; Using this pedigree, he argued that feeblemindness was a genetic trait (recessive) that should be eradicated, thus starting the 20th-century Eugenic movement. He was wrong. If you were a peer reviewer of his book, what questions would you want to know about his methodology? (What might be some confounding factors? Does his study properly isolate these variables?) Write down a question/concern about his methodology that you have.
