| Abstract | Reported are three studies investigating the mental abilities of children and adolescents. The first study (by Chamnong Vibulsri) had three purposes: (1) to determine whether and how language affects logical thinking in Thai children; (2) to ascertain whether Piaget's or Bruner's theory would more accurately explain any such relationship; and (3) to search for additional findings relevant to the context of teaching and learning. Findings indicated that, while verbal language had no better effect than non-verbal language, language definitely did have an impact on Thai children's logical thinking, suggested that young children might most effectively be taught conservation of substance audio-visually, and advised an integration of theories. The second study (by Seng Seok Hoon, Singapore) examined individual and additive effects of task manipulations on class inclusion performance by 128 boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 8 years. While results indicated a lack of additive effect, comparisons of single task manipulations suggested that referencing a common superordinate cue or adding an inclusive verbal cue in the class inclusion question facilitated class inclusion performance. The third study (by Chumporn Yongkittikal of Thailand) dealt with culture-fair tests. Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices, Cattell's Culture Fair Intelligence Scale 3, Form B, and Dominoes 48 Tests were administered to 3,569 Thai boys and girls who were attending 16 government and private schools and who ranged in age from 12 to 18 years. The purpose of the study was to investigate the tests' developmental properties, examine item statistics, assess reliability and validity, and establish norms of the test scores for Thai adolescents. The third paper is presented in abstract form; the full paper may be obtained from the editors of the conference. (RH) |
