Abstract
Following the finding (previously reported in JCCP) of a particular pattern of WPPSI subtests in samples drawn from children of Arab villages, we studied a sample of Arab city children. Arab and Jewish children living in a city in northern Israel were matched as closely as possible for school grade, age, and SES. The results indicated little if any difference between Jewish and Arab children in level or pattern of the intellectual abilities tapped by the WPPSI. It is thus suggested that the pattern difference previously found is not likely to be related to the Arab-Jewish ethnic difference per se, but probably reflects an interaction of ethnicity and subcultural environment.
