Sheldon, M. Stephen; And Others – 1972
A study was conducted to investigate the predictive validity of parents' ability to attend to their children (ATA) on intelligence and to determine to what extent ATA and social class variables, in combination, can account for the discrepancy in the IQ scores of children of different races. Ss were 700 Head Start children. The criterion variables…

Ramey, Craig T.; Haskins, Ron – Intelligence, 1981
In this response to the critiques by Jensen and McVicker Hunt, we focus on the meaning of g, the permanence of effects produced by early education, and the educational significance of IQ gains produced by early education programs. New longitudinal data from our study presented. (Author/RD)

Rao, Nirmala – British Journal of Special Education, 1997
Six Hong Kong preschoolers with Down syndrome who attended a center-based educational intervention program were assessed and matched on age, mental age (MA), and IQ. Three of the preschoolers also attended regular preschools two days per week. After a year, the children who also had attended regular preschool had higher MA and IQ. (Author/CR)

Thompson, Lee Anne; And Others – Intelligence, 1985
Separate dimensions of infant cognition were compared with parental general- and specific-cognitive abilities for 182 adoptive and 164 nonadoptive families. More parent-offspring resemblance was present when 24- rather than 12-month Bayley factors were used. Bayley factors were more related to parental g than to specific abilities. (Author/RD)

Barclay, A.; And Others – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
Intelligence quotients from the Slosson Intelligence Test for 60 Head Start children drawn from three areas of metropolitan St. Louis showed the group to be heterogeneous with respect to intelligence. No significant differences were associated with sex or race. Consideration of such characteristics is needed in planning school programs. (Author/CM)

Ramey, Craig T.; Haskins, Ron – Intelligence, 1981
Infants judged to be at risk for subnormal intellectual growth were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups which varied as to educational curriculum activities. Two types of evidence, group differences and parent-child IQ correlations, demonstrate the importance of early environments in intellectual development. (Author/RD)
