Cooley, William W. – 1974
This paper deals with two fundamental problems that are embedded in the evaluation of school practices: (1) attributing value to outcome measures, and (2) attributing outcomes to particular practices. Ways of generating evidence regarding the value of an outcome are discussed, particularly longitudinal research that clarifies the causal relations…

Silva, P. A.; Bradshaw, J. – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 1980
This study reports the contribution of maternal general ability, some developmental milestones, early motor development, language development, and experiences, to intelligence as measured at age 5. Results confirm that there is a relatively low level of prediction of intelligence. (Author/KC)

Bonney, Lewis Alfred – 1970
This study is concerned with the manner in which experience with concrete, quantitative, interpersonal, and verbal content influences the development of ability patterns in first grade children. The literature related to theoretical models of intellectual development indicates that abilities develop in response to experiential variables, such as…

Hughes, Owen L. – Intelligence, 1983
Two methodological issues involved in determining the relationship between learning and general intelligence were examined: (1) the use of learning strategies in a paired-associate task and (2) the importance of time (rather than errors) in the measurement of learning efficiency. (Author/RD)

Goodrich, Robert L. – 1978
Stochastic difference equations of the Box-Jenkins form provide an adequate family of models on which to base the stochastic theory of human growth processes, but conventional time series identification methods do not apply to available data sets. A method to identify structure and parameters of stochastic difference equation models of human…
