It is generally recognized that a positive relationship exists between language ability and mental ability as measured by a standard intelligence test.

Since intelligence is a highly respected universal value, education must build on sociocultural and educational expectations of diverse learners. Multicultural education is useful in tapping diverse learners' multiple intelligences. The concept of multiple intelligences is linked to multicultural education, with the interface between the two…

This paper reviews what is known about intelligence and the use of intelligence tests. Environmental and hereditary factors that affect performance on intelligence tests are reviewed, along with various theories that have been proposed about the basis of intelligence. Intelligence tests do not test intelligence per se but make inferences about a…

The primary goal of this study was to investigate the underlying structure of the Differential Ability Scales (DAS) using Exploratory Principal Axis Factoring (PAF) with 62 nonclinical preschoolers. While previous factor analyses of the DAS Core subtests revealed the derivation of two distinct factors, the current results revealed only one factor,…

This reader brings together work by Howard Gardner and his colleagues at Project Zero (Harvard Graduate School of Education) to provide a coherent picture of what has been learned about the educational applications of multiple intelligences theory from school projects and formal research over the past decade. The chapters are: (1) "In a Nutshell";…

Discusses natural and artificial intelligence and indicates that, although our knowledge of bionics is growing, there is as yet no sufficiently complete model of artificial intelligence. (JR)

Most striking finding was the mean 10-point IQ incn programs which utilize the discovery of such IQ increases as evidence development

The author maintains that IQ is largely heredity and rejects compensatory programs as failures, suggesting other interesting avenues to close present social gaps. (Editor)

Reported were scores on the Cattell Infant Intelligence Scale, the Stanford Binet Intelligence Scale (Form L-M), the Quick Screening Scale of Mental Development, and the Vineland Social Maturity Scale achieved by 102 retarded, cerebral palsied infants who were in a hospital rehabilitation program.
