摘要:

Summary.Children who had received full‐time teaching in Remedial Centres of an English education authority were traced, and their reading ages assessed along with their understanding of certain arithmetic concepts. A Summary of the data obtained is given together with the inter‐relationships found between a number of the relevant variab

摘要:

Summary.Eighty‐three severely subnormal children aged under 9 years were observed with the aim of comparing their development in different areas and of examining the relation of various aspects of development to Piaget's sensorimotor stages. It was found that locomotor development was significantly in advance of speech development. Children classified at various sensori‐motor stages differed significantly in speech and in locomotor development. Certain developments in language, drawing, performance ability and social responses were associated with the attainment of the last sensori‐motor stage, thus suggesting that the achievement of the end of the sensori‐motor period is an important step in the development of severely subnormal c

摘要:

Summary.It is widely believed in country areas that the country child is at a disadvantage in the working of speeded tests. This hypothesis was tested by the comparison of two samples, each of about 300 children aged 10–11, one from rural Westmorland, one from central Manchester. Power and speed scores were obtained from N.F.E.R. tests of Arithmetic, English and Verbal Reasoning. Almost all net differences were statistically significant in the expected direction, tending to confirm the hypothesis, but were not sufficiently large to suggest a need for revision of selection procedure

摘要:

Summary.An investigation was made of twenty successive cases of developmental speech defects. They were divided according to the type of speech disorder (Greene 1960) into a ‘Motor’ group (eight children) and a ‘Language’ group (twelve children). In the Motor group, but not the Language, there was evidence of delay in general motor maturation. The two groups were compared on measures of mechanical reading, consistency of laterality and W.I.S.C. subtests. Both groups were very poor at reading, but whereas all the Motor group had inconsistent laterality, only a third (i.e., a normal proportion) of the Language were inconsistent; on the other hand, the Motor group had a much better knowledge of right and left. The Language group, but not the Motor, had poor scores on the Arithmetic and Digit Span subtests. Also the Language group was significantly worse than the Motor on Block Designs.It was suggested that these might represent two distinct groups of developmental language defects, and that recognition of the two might help to explain some of the contradictions in the lit

摘要:

Summary.Answers to C. W. Valentine's reasoning test for higher levels of intelligence made by 286 men and 262 women were analysed and compared. Analysis of the item inter‐correlations by the method of principal components gave a factor of general reasoning ability for both men and women. Upon rotation to the Varimax and Quartimax criteria three group factors were obtained which were comparable for the two groups of subjects. These factors are described and tentatively named. The results indicate the potential value of a detailed examination of the thinking processes involved in answering the items of this tes

摘要:

Summary.A random sample of children aged 6–11 in four Glasgow schools was interviewed and tested, two situated in middle‐class and two in working‐class districts. The formation of concepts relating the series of units Glasgow‐Scotland‐Britain is traced in terms of both verbal formulation and spatial representation. The difficulty for younger children of such concepts as ‘town’ and ‘country’ is demonstrated. The emergence of national identification is described, indicating the major sources of

摘要:

Summary.The limitations of children's reasoning observed by Piaget can be described by a restricted logical system, called a psycho‐logic. It is shown that psycho‐logic can be simply represented by a small set of finite Boolean algebras. These are interpreted to suggest that limitations of reasoning correspond to limitations of immediate memory or attent

摘要:

Summary.One hundred teachers in training in the Department of Education, University of Manchester, were tested with measures of abilities, personality, interests, values and general culture, and provided a considerable range of biographical information. The predictive power of these various measures was examined in terms of three main criteria—final teaching mark, final theory mark, and award of the Graduate Certificate in Education. Degree class was the best single predictor of theory mark and of final award. A personality questionnaire (Cattell's 16 P.F.) was the best single predictor of teaching mark. The successful student tended, apart from academic qualifications, to have a high level of general culture, high conscientiousness (16 P.F., factor G), to have tender‐minded attitudes to education, and to participate fairly widely in social activit
