Thirty-six third-graders were randomly assigned to either a treatment group or a control group. The Matrix Analogies Test, a test of nonverbal reasoning ability, was selected as the dependent variable. The treatment group received eight weeks of Logo programming experience. An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) computed on the MAT posttest, controlling for pretest, revealed a significant group effect. The Logo group scored significantly higher than the control group.
