McGowan, Ronald J.; Johnson, Dale L.
Child Development, v55 n3 p810-20 Jun 1984
Tests causal models of verbal and performance IQ in 69 Mexican-American children of low socioeconomic status. Years of mother's education were correlated with IQ at 3 years and at 6 to 8 years, but traditional/nontraditional attitudes showed conflicting correlations over time. The adequacy of standarized IQ tests for this population is questioned. (CB)
