Bracken, Bruce A.; And Others

Psychology in the Schools, v24 n1 p22-27 Jan 1987

Administered Bracken Basic Concept Scale (BBCS) to 114 matched pairs of Black and White children. Scores of White children were nearly identical with national average while Black children scored approximately one-half standard deviation below their White counterparts. Blacks and Whites showed similar performance patterns on BBCS subtests, suggesting a similar cognitive approach to tasks. (Author/NB)
