Abstract
GOLDEN, MARK; BIRNS, BEVERLY; BRIDGER, WAGNER; and Moss, ABIGAIL. Social-Class Differentiation in Cognitive Development among Black Preschool Children. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1971, 42, 37-45. In a longitudinal study of 89 black children from different social classes, while there were no significant SES differences on the Cattell Infant Intelligence Scale at 18 and 24 months of age, there was a highly significant 23-point mean IQ difference on the Stanford Binet at 3 years of age between children from welfare and middle-class black families. The range in mean IQs of the black children in the extreme SES groups (93-116) was almost identical to that obtained by Terman and Merrill in their standardization sample of 831 white children between 2and 5 years of age.
