Abstract
BEREITER, CARL. An Error of Interpretation in Cloutier and Goldschmid's Individual Differences in the Development of Formal Reasoning. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1978, 49, 251-252. Cloutier and Goldschmid erroneously report negative associations between formal reasoning performance and children's self-confidence and discipline. In fact the correlations reported in their paper are positive. The error arose from interpreting multiple regression weights instead of correlations. It is suggested that multiple regression coefficients need to be treated with caution and usually require further analysis before their meaning is clear.
