Growth Periodization in Mental Test Performance.
McCall, Robert B.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v80 n2 p217-33 Jun 1988
Mental test data cited by H. T. Epstein as supporting his theory that new concepts should be taught during periodic spurts in childhood intellectual development (at 3-10 months; and 2-4, 6-8, 10-12 or 13, and 14-16 or 17 years) are reanalyzed. It is found that the data do not substantiate Epstein's conclusions. (TJH)
