A book relating genetic inferiority to intelligence level is reviewed. (DB)

Dissects the controversial Jensen paper, and concludes that Jensen is wrong. (DM)

Geneticists discuss the Jensen paper and suggest upon reviewing the evidence, that the question of genetic differences between the IQ of blacks and whites cannot be answered in the present circumstances. (DM)

Attempts to show that the purportedly scientific'' empirical basis of credentialism and I.Q.-ism'' is false; and to facilitate linkages between the groups who are being discriminated against the workers' movements within the white male labor force, by showing that the same mechanisms are used to divide strata against one another so as to…

Concludes that if abilities are examined in terms of the experiences children undergo in any culture, it is apparent that there are few dumb children if they are classified from the perspective of the community of adaptation. (Author/AM)

Data are presented from families of monozygotic twin pairs which give evidence of genetic variance on the Block Design Test, a nonverbal measure of intelligence. Analyses of genetic and environmental effects on behavior are possible with this kind of information. (SA)

Taylor (1980) claims to show that the similarity in IQ between monozygotic twins reared apart found in prior studies is due to similarity in their environments. A reanalysis using Taylor's classification of environments but an alternative IQ measure shows that his findings do not constructively replicate. (Author/RD)

An analysis, supported by recently published data, which suggests that IQ differences between groups may be explained by environmental factors. (Author/FF)

The Genetics Society of America has released a statement saying that the possibility of a "genetic difference in intelligence between races" is still an open question and warning against "the misuse of genetics for political purposes". (Editor)

A discussion of two questions is considered important: (1) why are there different races and how might they have come to be, and (2) given the observed biological differences among races, what, if any, is their significance for society. Discusses the race-IQ question and presents evidence to support environmental influence on IQ results. (DF)

Research has shown that differences among ordinary people in intelligence and personality depend equally on individual genetic variability and on differences in the environments that siblings experience within the same family, not differences in the neighborhood, school, and community environments. As of yet, there are no adequate theories to…

It is the particular concern of the present paper to examine some important features of the cognitive deficit model, and in particular, to look closely at the assumptions on which compensatory education is based. (Author)

A DISCUSSION ON THE VARIOUS RACES WAS PRESENTED. STATISTICS SHOWED THAT LIKENESSES AMONG GROUPS WERE ABOUT 95 PERCENT, WHILE DIFFERENCES WERE ONLY 5 PERCENT. FROM THE BIOLOGICAL STANDPOINT, THERE WAS NO PHYSICALLY INFERIOR OR PHYSICALLY SUPERIOR RACIAL TRAITS. THERE WAS NO PROOF THAT "RACE" AND INTELLIGENCE WERE LINKED. RATHER EVIDENCE…

Guessing patterns differ between children of lower and middle class. It is hypothesized that lower class children, because they live in an environment affording fewer rewards for problem solving, come to expect a lower degree of success than their middle class peers. Eighty white kindergarten children attending urban public school were divided…
