The behaviour of children at home who were severely malnourished in the first 2 years of life
Studies of school age children who were severely malnourished in infancy have focused primarily on somatic growth and intelligence, but information about behaviour is almost completely lacking. In this study the social behaviour of 71 Jamaican school boys who were severely malnourished in infancy (index subjects) is compared with that of classmates of the same age and sex (comparisons) and also with the nearest sibling of the same sex where avail…

Malnutrition, learning, and intelligence
What we actually know about the relation of malnutrition to intellect and learning, and what is the significance of this knowledge for psychology and education? What are the implications of this evidence for improved functioning? This paper is addressed to these questions and indicates that nutritional factors at a number of different levels contribute to depressed intellectual level and learning failure. These factors are discussed in a social c…

The Behavior of Children in School Who Were Severely Malnourished in the First Two Years of Life
The study of the long-term consequences of severe malnutrition was undertaken in Jamaica, West Indies. Subjects were male school-age children who had been malnourished during the first two years of life (index cases). Each index child was compared with his male sibling nearest in age (when he had one) and a male classmate nearest in age. Each male sibling selected was also matched with a male classmate nearest his age. Asssesment of the children'…
Longitudinal course of measured intelligence in preschool children of different social and ethnic backgrounds
The longitudinal course of measured intelligence in white middle-class and Puerto Rican working class children was examined at three and at six years of age. Findings suggested that stability in IQ over this time period was characteristic of both groups, with greater stability manifested by the Puerto Rican than by the middle-class children. No evidence for deterioration of IQ with age in the disadvantaged group was found. The data are considered…

"Neurologic findings in children educationally designated as "brain-damaged
The question has been raised as to whether the designation “brain-damaged” any longer has any clinical or educational worth, since it has come to be applied to so many groups of aberrantly functioning children. The study reported here finds that children labeled “brain-damaged” do in fact have clear evidence of central nervous system abnormality, though of great neurologic heterogeneity. The usefulness of the label, therefore, may be to prevent u…

A fourteen-year follow-up study of cerebral palsy
The predictive worth of initial estimates of IQ in cerebral palsied children was found to vary with the level of the initial IQ. Stability characterized only initially defective or initially normal IQ. Implications of evidenced instability of scores in the mildly subnormal or borderline normal range of IQ are discussed

Auditory-visual integration in normal and retarded readers
The relation of auditory-visual integration to reading retardation was studied in 200 children nine and ten years of age. One hundred and fifty were retarded readers and 50 were normal readers. The retarded readers were significantly less able to make judgments of auditory-visual equivalence than were the normal readers. Within the two groups of readers, those children with lower auditory-visual performance tended to have the lower reading scores…

Hormonal Modification of Social Behavior
The effects of the administration of methyltestosterone and alpha-estradiol on the dominance-subordination relations of three adult female-castrate chimpanzees was studied in a food competition situation. The results were as follows: Female chimpanzee dominance status was reliably enhanced by raising the estrogen level. Female chimpanzee dominance status was reliably raised by the administration of androgen. The improvement in dominance status wi…
Hormonal Modifications of Social Behavior
The effects of male and female sex-hormone administration on the dominance status of a male-castrate were studied in a food-competition situation. The animal with which the castrate was paired was an intact male of approximately the same size and age as the treated subject. The results showed: (1) That the dominance status of the castrate was enhanced by male sex-hormone therapy. (2) That the castrate assumed subordinate status as a result of the…
