Reports a study which sought to discover, through a sampling of members of the A.P.A., the degree to which they agreed with Jensen's statements regarding racial differences in intelligence and their genetic basis, and to note the presence of any associations between the responses and other potentially relevant data. (Author/JM)

Discusses the diagnosis of hyperkinesis as a catch-all for problem children and the use of psychoactive drugs as a simplistic method of restraint. Also discusses the results of tests for brain dysfunction, mental ability, creativity, and mental health for drug and non-drug groups of children. (TO)

Investigated were J. Piaget's ideas of the sensory motor stage of intelligence by determining whether six developmentally delayed children (aged 21 to 31 months) could use two different strategies appropriately to look for two different tokens. (Author/DB)

The Goodenough-Harris Draw-A-Man Test (DAM) and either the WISC or Stanford-Binet (S-B) were administered to 158 normal'' children. Discrepancy scores between the DAM and the S-B or WISC indicated that the DAM IQ tends to be below, at times considerably, IQs obtained from individual scales. Moreover, the DAM seemed to be virtually useless in…

Author stresses the great need for each teacher to use all of the available resources along with his own fresh look at the child in his situation in order to discover the meaning of the child's behavior from the child's own point of view. (Author/RK)

The effect that learning modern'' mathematics (Dienes program) had on intelligence test scores of children aged eight and nine was studied. No overall significant difference was obtained between the experimental group and a control group instructed in a traditional mathematics program. (JP)

Author evaluated the role that society has placed upon speed''. (RK)

Although the mediating variables were less clear than would be desired and were, by no means, exhaustively explored in this study, the evidence clearly supported the predicted relationship between intelligence and opinion change through active participation. (Author)

Report from the Anglo-American conference of sixty scientists at Wycombe, England. (RJ)

Study indicates that students suffering a disability in color perception would have greater difficulty in achieving success in biology than would students not so handicapped. (Author/CB)

Prenatal exposure to the Dutch famine of 1944-45 had no detectable effects on the adult mental performance of surviving male offspring; birth weight was not related to mental performance; and the association of social class with mental performance was strong. (AL)

Experiment set out to determine whether responses to creativity tests are influenced by the personality of the subjects and by the amount of stress imposed by different testing procedures. (Author)

Argues that, in spite of assertions by Jensen and Shockley to the effect that heredity is the major contributor to IQ differences, there exists no means for estimating the magnitude of the genetic contribution. (JF)
