In a society that supports universal public education and allows a high degree of social and occupational mobility, a positive correlation is inevitable between socioeconomic status (SES) and intelligence. (The term intelligence is used here to mean those abilities primarily associated with scholastic aptitude.) Also, because there is a high correlation (of the order of 0.8-0.9) between phenoty...

The theory of multiple intelligences, developed by psychologist Howard Gardner in the late 1970's and early 1980's, posits that individuals possess eight or more relatively autonomous intelligences. Individuals draw on these intelligences, individually and corporately, to create products and solve problems that are relevant to the societies in which they live (Gardner, 1999). According to Gardn...

OBJECTIVE To explore concurrent and predictive validity of the Stanford-Binet: Fourth Edition (SB-IV) by comparing scores on the SB-IV with scores from the Battelle Developmental Inventory (BDI) and later achievement scores in preschoolers at risk due to very low birthweight, and/or intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and other medical complications. METHODS At ages 3,4, and 5, 92 preschoolers ...

The American Association for Artificial Intelligence held its 1990 Spring Symposium Series on March 27–29 at Stanford University, Stanford, California. This article contains a short summary of seven of the nine symposia that were conducted (reports were unavailable for the symposia Planning in Uncertain, Unpredictable, and Changing Environments and The Theory and Application of Minimal-Length E...

THE STANFORD Artificial Intelligence Project, later known as the Stanford AI Lab or SAIL, was created by Prof. John McCarthy shortly after his arrival at Stanford in 1962. As a faculty member in the Computer Science Division of the Mathematics Department, McCarthy began supervising research in artificial intelligence an,d timesharing systems with a few students. From this small start, McCarthy ...
