Administered Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices to 342 young adult engineering students in South Africa (198 Africans; 86 Whites). Data confirm the magnitude of the African-White IQ gap and that the differences on various items are positively correlated with the "g" loading for those items. (SLD)

Rohwer, William D., Jr. – 1969
Research data consistently demonstrates that white school children score higher on tests of academic ability than Negro children of the same age and grade level, and that this discrepancy increases with time. Is this discrepancy due to a lack of learning proficiency on the part of Negro children or to a lack of learning opportunity? In an attempt…

Wirtz, Lyndall R. – 1971
Evidence for suggested basic differences in the abstract reasoning capacity of Negro and Caucasian children includes consistent findings of significantly poorer performance by Negroes on Raven's Progressive Matrices (PM). This study investigated the PM performance of Negro children taught algebra via a discovery method of instruction. It was…
