The problem often cited in the evaluation of research on intelligence in later life is:
**b. Lack of early childhood IQ test scores for comparison**
This issue arises because longitudinal studies that track individuals from childhood into later life may not have consistent early IQ test data available for all participants, making it difficult to assess how much intelligence may have changed over the lifespan.
