Environmental Effects on Educational Performance.
Thompson, W. Warren
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v31 n1 p11-25 Mar 1985
Correlations of home and school environment variables with the educational performance of 392 seven- and ten-year-old students in Northern Ireland were studied in 1970. Home influences of parent behavior, home literacy, and educational ambition were more important predictors of intelligence and reading/math attainment than were school and neighborhood variables.
