A Critique of Milkman's (1978) "A Simple Exposition of Jensen's Error."

Wolff, Joseph L.

Journal of Educational Statistics, v4 n3 p197-205 Fall 1979

Milkman (TM 504 643) accuses Arthur Jensen of misapplying heritability data in speculating on the causes of racial differences in intelligence test scores, and offers a method for illuminating Jensen's alleged error. It is contended in this article that Milkman has misconstrued Jensen's argument and that his method is without point. (Author/CTM)
