The Distinctiveness of Operativity as a Measure of Cognitive Functioning in Five‐year‐old Children
S ummary . A battery of 28 individually administered tests, comprised of measures derived from the work of Piaget, of simple and complex learning, of language, STM, LTM and intelligence were given to 210 children aged 5.6 to 6.0 during their first year of schooling. The children were drawn from 21 schools: seven schools from each of three areas rated as privileged, average and underprivileged. Factor analysis revealed seven significant factors am…
The Effectiveness of Measures of Operativity, Language and Short-term Memory in the Prediction of Reading and Mathematical Understanding
Tests of reading and mathematical understanding were administered to 210 children from three socio-economic backgrounds who had been tested 12 months earlier during their first year at school. When first seen, the children were given 28 cognitive tests, the results of which have been discussed in a previous paper (Lunzer, et al., 1976). Measures of operativity were found to be superior to measures of language in predicting progress in mathematics…

Discrimination Learning and Discrimination Learning Sets in Subnormal Children
S ummary . The aim of the enquiry was to establish whether subnormal children have more difficulty than normals of comparable mental age in learning a visual discrimination and in forming a discrimination set. Twenty‐eight older sub‐normal children and twenty‐four normal pre‐school children were required to solve six visual discrimination problems. Owing to imperfect matching, the normal group had a somewhat higher mean M.A. Nevertheless, little …

Aggressive and Withdrawing Children in the Normal School: II—D isparity in A ttainment
S ummary . In a recent article, Lynn put forward the view that anxious children tend to show a higher performance in reading as compared with arithmetic. A group of aggressive children and a group of withdrawing children were given tests of reading and arithmetic and the disparity scores compared. There is a strong tendency for the former to perform badly in arithmetic and Raven's Matrices. These results are discussed in the light of available ev…
Aggressive and Withdrawing Children in the Normal School: I—P atterns of B ehaviour
S ummary . Forty‐two “aggressive” and forty “withdrawing” children, selected by teachers out of a total school population of 1,002 children, are compared with each other and with a group of “exceptionally well‐adjusted children.” Comparisons are based on rating scales, Bristol Guides to Social Adjustment, a sociometric test, and a test of social adaptation. The results indicate that there are probably rather more problems of aggression than withd…
The Child's Conception of Geometry
This volume from Piaget's laboratory in Geneva deals primarily with the development of notions of measurement and geometrical concepts like coordinates, angles, and areas. It is a companion piece to The Child's Conception of Space
