Evaluation of Confluence Model Variables on IQ and Achievement Test Scores in a Sample of 6- to 11-Year-Old Children.
Svanum, Soren; Bringle, Robert G.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v72 n4 p427-36 Aug 1980
The confluence model of cognitive development was tested on 7,060 children. Family size, sibling order within family sizes, and hypothesized age-dependent effects were tested. Findings indicated an inverse relationship between family size and the cognitive measures; age-dependent effects and other confluence variables were found to be nonsignificant. (Author/GDC)
