Relative Performane of Behavior Problem Boys on the Stanford-Binet and Cornell-Coxe Performance Scales

Timothy William Costello, Fordham University

Abstract

This study was an attempt to discover what, if any, effect problem behavior has on mental test performance. By comparing the performance of two groups of subjects, one normal, the other behavior problem, on a verbal and a performance test, it hoped to discover whether such behavior interferes with success in one or the other type of test. In other words it is an attempt to explain the frequently reported discrepancies between performance and verbal scores, on the basis of behavior disorders.
