THE MAJOR OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY WAS TO DETERMINE THE GENERAL EFFECTS OF CLOSED PUBLIC SCHOOLS ON THE SOCIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT OF A NEGRO POPULATION. A SECONDARY OBJECTIVE WAS TO EXPLORE THOSE FACTORS WHICH RESULT FROM EDUCATIONAL AND SOCIAL DEPRIVATION. EXTENSIVE BACKGROUND INFORMATION WAS ACQUIRED ON BOTH THE ADULT AND NON-ADULT NEGRO MEMBERS OF…

A study was designed to investigate the effects of a token reinforcement system on the academic performance of a regular third grade classroom (N=22). Two performance tasks were used: oral reading from standard classroom materials and a unique task (a series of sound-symbol associations) designed to study acquisition and retention. The…

Product-moment correlations between Stanford-Binet IQs of 151 women and the Gesell Developmental Quotients of their illegitimate children were significant when the children were approximately 2 months old and residing in institutions. After the children were adopted, the correlations dropped at first but then increased in the final tests given at…

C. Shedd's hypothesis that hyperactive children would attain highest IQs on a picture vocabulary test, followed by the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC), and a drawing test, was confirmed in a study involving 62 overactive children (8-13 years old). (CL)

The use of partial correlation methodology to control trait variance such as intelligence is criticized. Factor analysis is presented as the only methodology that can be used objectively and effectively with fallible measures to control trait variance. An example is presented. (Author/JKS)

This investigation challenged the causal relationship implicit in the search for behavioral predictors in infancy of later intellectual ability and demonstrated the primacy of infant mental scale scores in the causation of later, more concrete physical behaviors. (Author/JMB)

Contending that the Stanford Binet Intelligence Test is not based upon a sound theory of intellectual functions, this article evaluates observations of intelligence and maintains a human has a capacity unto his constructed being, unique unto himself, with a commoness relative to its species. (JC)

A kindergarten class of nine boys and 11 girls took the 1986 Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale (Fourth Edition) and the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence. Of six correlations of total scores and subtests pairs, only the correlation of total scores was statistically significant. (Author)
