Selective Migration--Still a Viable Hypothesis.

Wolff, Joseph L.

Intelligence, v4 n2 p165-70 Apr-Jun 1980

Kamin has contended that arguments presented in Wolff are too weak to justify selective migration. Although Kamin's critique points up the need for closer scrutiny of the cumulative-deficit phenomenon, it fails to refute Wolff's conclusion that selective migration is partly responsible for the North-South Black IQ differential.
