Bloom, Allan S.; Raskin, Larry M. – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1980
Compared the WISC-R Verbal-Performance IQ discrepancies of learning-disabled children and of the normative sample.

Davidson, Philip W.; And Others – American Journal of Mental Deficiency, 1980

The selection of haptic search styles also depended on these factors but, in addition, was influenced by the intellectual status of the children. (Author/DLS)

Scarr, Sandra; Weinberg, Richard A. – American Sociological Review, 1978
Findings from a study reported in this paper indicate that the differences in family background that affect IQ are largely the result of genetic differences among parents, which affect the parents' own status attainment and which are passed on genetically to their offspring, whose status attainments are subsequently affected.

Harker, R. K. – New Zealand Journal of Educational Studies, 1978
A study of two separate models which implicitly explain the underachievement of Maori pupils indicates that there is a generalized (or generalizing) factor affecting the performance of Maori children as a whole despite environmental differences.
