Abstract
"Twenty-three pairs of fourth grade children matched for age, sex, and very roughly for socioeconomic status served as Ss in a concept-learning task. The Ss'' IQs ranged from 98 to 103 as measured by the California Test of Mental Maturity. One S of each pair was working up to grade placement while the other was behind from . 5 to 2.5 years in achievement as measured by the Stanford Achievement battery . . .In 18 out of 23 pairs of Ss, the normal achiever made fewer errors than his matched underachiever. Eleven Ss reached the criterion of 11 consecutively correct choices. Sixteen Ss correctly verbalized the principle. Fourteen were normal achievers while only two were underachievers. Ten Ss met both criteria and all 10 of these Ss were normal achievers. All of these results were statistically significant below the .01 level of confidence.".Keywords
