| Abstract: |
Several studies appear to establish the occurrence of a relatively high level of auditory memory skill for preschool, kindergarten, and first grade black children, especially those from the midwest. This study is concerned with the development of this ability in black and white children in the southeast and the generalizability of the previous findings. The sample consisted of 122 black children and 120 white children in kindergarten through the third grade in two racially mixed schools in a large southern community. Scores on the Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities were subjected to a two way ANOVA. Results did not support previous findings as reported in the literature. Nor did the data support a superiority of black children in the skill tested. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
