Prediction of the Intelligence Test Scores of 3- to 8-Year-Old Children by Home Environment, Socioeconomic Status, and Biomedical Risks.

Molfese, Victoria J.; And Others

Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, v43 n2 p219-34 Apr 1997

Examined 128 children for contributions of biomedical risk conditions, SES, and HOME scores to prediction of intelligence, and association of extreme scores on HOME and SES to intelligence-test performance. Found home environment was the most important predictor of intelligence at all ages, with SES showing a smaller effect beginning at age 5. Found birth risk factors were not significant. (EV)
