In the first place--a fact that is important--he does not submit to this convention, and he must be reminded of it about 8 times before he begins to give the signal spontaneously 18 Let us say right here that Martin is not an exception to the rule con cerning the morons; all the morons have a visual memory as good as the normals of their age. and again he often fails. These lapses prove to us the difficulty he has in learning. In the second place we learn that he is truly an optimist. He believes that he has correctly replied in many cases where he has deceived himself. Six times he declares "That is right," when he was wrong and only 4 times did he admit he was wrong, and in 3 of these he had said nothing at all. These are indeed characteristic errors, where the absence of attention borders closely on absence of judgment. Such curious cases require careful study. We suppose that by a strong appeal to the attention, by long training one might succeed in arousing this lagging judgment. But that would no longer be an examination, it would be education. Let us note again with Martin, many inventions of figures and sometimes, though rarely, a tendency to follow the natural order in the invention. Thus one gives him the series 5, 1,4, 8, 2, 7, and he announces the series 5, 1, 2, 3, 7. It can thus be seen that in this test so far as it goes the memory is sufficient. It is not through absence of memory but through weakness of judgment that Martin fails. These examples show how necessary it is to carefully analyse results. A hasty examination would have recognized in Martin a reasonable memory, nothing more. Sensorial intelligence. Martin conducts himself here in a very...

Book Description
A preface is an excellent opportunity for an editor to speak directly to the reader and share with him the goals, hopes, struggles, and produc tion of a volume such as this. It seems to me that I have an important obligation to tell you the origins of this volume. This is no idle chatter, but rather an integral part of scientific inquiry. It is important before delving into content, theory, and methodology to talk about motivation, values, and goals. Indeed, it is always necessary to explicate from the very beginning of any intellectual and scientific inquiry the implicit assumptions governing that exercise. Failure to do so is not only an ethical but a scientific failure. We learn, albeit all too slowly, that science is a moral enterprise and that values must be explicitly stated, removing from the shadows those implicit beliefs that often motivate and deter mine our results. No better or more relevant example can be found than in the review of the implicit assumptions of the early IQ psychometri cians in this country (see Kamin's book, The Science and Politics of IQ, 1975).

Book Description
Excerpt from The Development of Intelligence in Children: The Binet-Simon Scale The literature on the Scale has increased enormously; in 1914 there was already a bibliography of 254 titles; yet in all this time no complete translation of Binet's work on the Scale has appeared. A number of criticisms have appeared, many of which could not have been written if Binet's complete discussion of his Scale had been available to the critics.
