Abstract

Assessed 60 mother-child pairs on two measures of crystallized intelligence and one measure of fluid abilities. Maternal fluid and crystallized intelligence and education, as well as family income and home environment, were used to predict Caucasian and African-American preschool children's fluid and crystallized abilities. Mothers' fluid abilities best predicted children's fluid abilities; mothers' crystallized intelligence best predicted children's crystallized intelligence; when examined without maternal intelligence, the only socioeconomic variables that significantly predicted children's intellectual abilities were family income and home environment.
