Abstract
The Goodenough-Harris Drawing Test was administered to 22 Ainu and 30 Japanese 6-yr.-olds. The mean scores of the total Japanese sample and the Japanese boys were significantly higher than their Ainu counterparts, while the difference between the girls approached significance. The differences suggest that the Japanese boys were functioning at a higher level than their Ainu counterparts. However, it is important to note that both groups performed at a much higher level than the American norm group. The implications of the results are discussed.Keywords
