abstract="RESULTS of a study of the mental development of 147 children placed in foster homes when under 6 months of age show that: (1) the mean intelligence level is higher than would be expected for children coming from the educational, socioeconomic and occupational levels represented by the true parents; (2) there is a zero correlation between the true mother's IQ and that of the child; (3) the mental level of the children compares favorably with that reported by other investigators for children of similar age from superior occupational levels.
