Studies in Diagnostic Teaching: Albert

If yon were to talk to Albert for a short time and hear him tell of his toys or his games with his friends, or of his trip to Cuba you would probably say, '' Here is a superior child or at least a boy who is better than average." Or if you were to judge him by his appearance and general manner you would probably say that he was a normal boy of ten with a pleasing personality and winning ways. Hence it is not at all strange that the principal of Albert's school, when he saw the boy in a B division class, a class for slow moving and retarded children, wondered why he was there, and sent him to the Psychological Clinic to see if he could be placed with average children.
