Effects of a Four-Year Follow Through Program on Economically Disadvantaged Children

Abelson, Willa D.; And Others

Journal of Educational Psychology, 66, 5, 756-71, Oct 74

The longitudinal and cross-sectional evidence together point to the conclusion that the gains accruing from compensatory education programs are commensurate with the duration and amount of effort which are expended on these programs.
