Perceptual and Motor Skills
P T Rogers, C S McLoughlin

Abstract

To gather data about the adult accomplishments of persons diagnosed with minimal cerebral dysfunction this retrospective study evaluated 57 subjects at ten-year follow-up. Two-thirds of the subjects graduated from high school with an average of 11.8 years of education. Factors correlating with educational outcome included intelligence quotient, age at initial evaluation, and parental socioeconomic status. Adult accomplishments appear related to intelligence and to the presence of family or behavior problems.
