• concluding that “Flynn effect” evidence is relevant and persuasive and will consider Flynn-adjusted scores in evaluation of intellectual functioning
• concluding “Flynn effect” evidence both relevant and persuasive and will consider Flynn adjusted scores in evaluation of intellectual functioning
• explaining that “the Flynn Effect means . . . that over time, the test norms become outdated, such that the average score is no longer 100, but something higher”
• observing that “[ajdaptive behavior is a broader category, and more amorphous, than intellectual functioning” and “[t]he assessment of adaptive behavior is more difficult to quantify when a subject is presently incarcerated”
• noting importance of assessing information that goes to “the relative credibility of the experts” in the case
• correcting for the Flynn Effect was found appropriate in order to more accurately determine whether the defendant met the “strict numerical cutoff”
