摘要:

SUMMARYAttempts were made to derive a plausible relationship between socialization experiences and conservation. It was postulated that children of accepting and rejecting mothers would differ from an early age in patterns of arousal and activation levels, in experiences of stress, and in their willingness to obtain social feedback in problem solving. Therefore, it was proposed, children exposed to rejection might find it more difficult to apply logical strategies in information processing, and to filter out irrelevant from relevant stimuli in conservation tests. As predicted, conservation assessed by new pictorial tests of increasing difficulty was shown to be less well developed in children of rejecting mothers.

摘要:

SUMMARYAn experiment is described which investigates the effect of social class and intelligence on the play behaviour of 51/2‐year‐old boys during a 75 min period. Interest in their play was assessed using a variety of measures: (1) flitting; (2) number of toys played with; (3) level of constructiveness of play; and (4) verbal interaction with experimenter. The results showed: (1) there was no significant difference in amount of Hitting between social class groups; (2) middle‐class children played with more toys than working‐class children; (3) social class, intelligence and time in the play situation interacted in their influence on constructiveness of play but had no effect on “normal play”. Constructiveness decreased with time and was interpreted as a symptom of boredom; (4) as predicted, middle‐class children talked with the experimenter more than working

摘要:

SUMMARYThis investigation tends Co support the Clarke hypothesis that subjects from “adverse” environments arc likely to show greater cognitive growth than persons from “less adverse” homes. However, the present study indicates that increments in cognitive growth are not necessarily dependent on removal from the “adverse” environment. Explanation may involve maturation, in the form of secondary and compensatory growth, and change from school to work environments. Because of large increments in intelligence in children from “less adverse” homes leaving comprehensive schools there may be reason to suggest that school environment may play an important though at present limited role in cognit

摘要:

SUMMARYLow and middle socio economic status preschool children learned color and form discriminations, followed by either reversal (R) or extradimensional (ED) shifts. The low socioeconomic status children learned the original discrimination somewhat more slowly than did the middle class children. The middle class children learned the R shift significantly faster than the ED shift but the lower class children did not. However, the lower class children learned the extradimensional shift significantly faster than did the middle class children, whereas there was no difference between the two socioeconomic groups in speed of reversal learning.

摘要:

SUMMARYFour cognitive styles were studied in 20 adolescent boys previously diagnosed as hyperactive and 20 normal controls. The results indicated that the hyperactives were not impaired in their ability to perform on tasks involving highly overlearned abilities, i.e., color naming and reading color words, even under distracting conditions. They were deficient, however, in their approach to tasks in which there was a greater degree of response uncertainty. Hyperactives took less lime to reflect over a problem solution when a number of alternative solutions were available and had greater difficulty isolating a simple figure hidden in a complex background.

摘要:

SUMMARY(1) An index group of 36 school‐age siblings of children with Down's Syndrome and another index group of 35 school‐age siblings of children with cleft lip/palate were compared with 71 individually matched school children. (2) Behavioural questionnaires (Rutter Scales A2 and B2) were completed by parents and teacher for all index siblings and controls. (3) No significant difference in behavioural rating was found between either index group and their controls. (4) At parental interview it was found that families of children with Down's Syndrome were experiencing more problems of management than families of children with cleft lip/palate deformit
