The Correlation between Children's Reading Ability and Their Cognitive Development, as Measured by Their Performance on a Piagetian-Based Test.
Malone, Abrian McCoy
It was hypothesized that middle-grade elementary school students' cognitive development, as defined by Jean Piaget, is positively related to reading ability, when the effects of sex, age, grade level, and language ability are held constant. A stratified, random sample of 138 sixth and seventh graders was administered a test based on Piagetian principles and the reading and language portions of the Comprehensive Tests of Basic Skills. Partial correlation coefficients were computed separately for boys, girls, sixth graders, and seventh graders. Results indicated that, in this sample, reading ability is a positive correlate of cognitive development as defined by Piaget. (Author/AA)
