Popis: SUMMARY. Multivariate analysis showed that subsequent to the third year in a longitudinal study, 40 children chosen at random from traditional classrooms were superior in reading and math problem-solving, but less willing to accept responsibility for negative intellectual events, when compared with 40 children from an informal, open-space school. The groups had shown no significant differences due to type of school or sex of subject on a pre-school predictive test battery. Differences were attributable only to type of school at the fourth year. When stepwise discriminant analysis was employed with these groups only problem-solving and concepts in mathematics entered the multiple regression equation as significant predictors of group membership.
