An Assessment of Adolescent Comprehension of Some Geographical Concepts Using Peel's Theoretical Framework.
Ghuman, Paul A. S.; Davis, R.
Educational Review, v33 n3 p231-40 Nov 1981
This inquiry had two aims: to assess children's ability to interpret maps in geography; to relate the assessed ability to maturity of thought as proposed by Peel, general intelligence, and age. It was found that performance on four tests depended more on intelligence than on maturity of thought or age. (Author/SJL)
