| Abstract | Reviews the empirical literature concerning prediction of childhood and adult IQ scores from infant test scores, emphasizing size of the correlations, age of assessment, reliability of the tests, sex differences, socioeconomic status, and specific items and abilities. Since most of these studies were conducted under the assumption of an immutable, pervasive, general coception of intelligence, an alternative orientation is offered which emphasizes short-term correlational transitions between specific item clusters and behaviors during infancy. 1 type of analysis illustrating this approach indicates a major developmental trend characterized by manipulative exploration and the investigation of sensorimotor contingencies at 6 mo., motor and verbal imitation at 12 and 18 mo., and vocabulary and grammatical fluency at 18 and 24 mo. The similarity of these results to Piagetian theory is noted. |
