Is an Intervention Program Necessary in Order to Improve Economically Disadvantaged Children's IQ Scores?
Zigler, Edward; And Others
Child Development, v53 n2 p340-48 Apr 1982
The hypothesis was investigated that alleviation of negative motivational factors underlies much of the 10-point IQ increase commonly found in economically disadvantaged children's performance following a preschool intervention program. Head Start and non-Head Start groups were tested on IQ and motivational measures three times before and during the Head Start year (pretest, retest, posttest). (Author/RH)
