Ethnic Group Differences in Children's Ability to Reproduce Direction and Orientation

Kershner, John R.

Journal of Social Psychology, 88, 1, 3-13, Oct 72

A study comparing Chicano and Anglo children in spatial and language abilities showed that Chicanos were better in spatial ability and poorer in language comprehension. The findings were interpretated as demonstrating ethnic group differences in information processing strategies and the polarity of verbal and spatial skills in some children. (JB)
