Scott, Marcia Strong; And Others
Gifted Child Quarterly, v40 n3 p147-53 Sum 1996
This study administered a cognitive battery of 9 tasks to 400 regular kindergarten children and 31 children identified as gifted. The upper 2% of the regular sample outperformed 81% of the gifted sample, with minority group students achieving most of the top scores. Results support the use of such batteries in identifying previously unidentified gifted minority children. (Author/PB)
