Performance Results

This study tested the hypothesis that for younger children of normal intellect, speed of performance plays a minimal if not negligible role in determining the obtained scores on the Block Design, Object Assembly, and Picture Arrangement subtests. It was further argued that if such were the case, then it was not necessary to exclude these subtests in the evaluation of the orthopedically handicapped child capable of manipulating the test materials. Under these circumstances, a poor showing could not be attributed to loss of bonus credits because of slow performance. Results based on five groups of children of normal intelligence ages 7 1/2 through 13 1/2 yr. ( N = 119) indicate that the Block Design and Object Assembly subtests essentially measure a power function through age 10 1/3. Speed is a determinant by age 13 1/2. On the Picture Arrangement subtest, the power function holds only at age 7 1/2. However, a score within normal limits is possible without speed bonuses through age 9 1/2.

Mental Defect

In 209 families with schizophrenic children, 18 families with more than one abnormal child were found. Among the parents of this group there was a high incidence of marital discord, schizoid personalities and different forms of schizophrenia. Among the siblings mental defect, speech delay, and schizophrenia were found. Because of the high incidence of the children in this group functioning on a mentally defective level, special attention was paid to the problem of the intellectual function of all family members. Twenty-four (40%) of the 60 children in these 18 families studied presented a picture of intellectual defects along with schizophrenic process. In three (5%) mental defect was found without typical symptoms of childhood schizophrenia. None of the parents were found to be mentally defective and only one was found to be of borderline intelligence. Twenty (55%) parents were of normal intelligence and 15 (42%) were bright normal to superior, while the corresponding figures for the children were 22 (36.6%) and six (10%). There were only four children whose intellectual function improved while there were 16 who deteriorated considerably. There was an unexplained finding of an unusually high number of twins among the 18 families. We found five pairs of twins. Two pairs were monozygotic, concordant for schizophrenia. Two pairs were dizygotic, discordant for schizophrenia. One of the fifth pair died early; the second was mentally defective.

Reliability Coefficients

This study was designed to evaluate the usefulness of the 40 receptive and 40 expressive items of the Northwestern Syntax Screening Test. Twenty preschoolers with normal language development, 20 preschoolers functioning within the range of normal intelligence diagnosed as language impaired, and 20 mentally retarded children comprised the three subject groups. The subjects were equated for mental age. Stable Hoyt’s reliability coefficients indicated that the Northwestern Syntax Screening Test assessed consistently the syntax and morphology used by children with atypical language development. Detailed item analysis revealed the strengths and weaknesses of both receptive and expressive items.
