Description
THE INFLUENCE OF AGE AND EXPERIENCE ON CORRELATIONS CONCERNED WITH MENTAL TESTS (1917)
In this research we have covered the data of four years of testing in the Vocational Bureau of Cincinnati. The results of two of these years are included in the Woolley and Fischer monograph, but we have limited ourselves in a number of ways. In the first place, our problem is more specific. We are interested in only one phase of the whole experiment, namely, the correlations between purely mental measurements, and their variations from year to year. In the second place, we have selected the records of boys only, and of those boys whose
records were complete and continuous through the four years of testing. Thirdly, we have restricted ourselves to those tests which are called "mental," paying no attention to such tests as seem to depend more on physical ability.
