Abstract
The relationship of social class to the cognitive and motor Indexes yielded by the McCarthy scales was explored for representative groups of black ( n = 154) and white ( n = 862) children aged 2½ to 8½ yr. For both racial groups, children categorized as middle class scored significantly higher than working-class youngsters on each of the six indexes. The pattern of mean Indexes for different occupational groups resembled the pattern of mean IQs found in previous studies.Keywords
