Summary:

The problem of the measurement of intelligence in children below the age of six years is of great importance in both its practical and theoretical aspects. In the past, owing to both educational and social demands, interest in intelligence has been concerned largely with the older child, and a considerable body of scientific knowledge and methodology with reference to the standardization and the criteria to be used in intelligence-test measurements has been developed. In the study which is here presented, Dr. Goodenough has applied these scientific criteria in a thoroughgoing and far reaching way to the problem of intelligence testing in young children, and has made a critical evaluation of the tests in the younger years. On reading the monograph, it will become clear that the methods developed in the standardization and evaluation of tests for older children have been applied with scientific rigor to the tests used below the school level and that the techniques and methods have been improved. Dr. Goodenough's work is in many respects a model investigation in the field of intelligence-test evaluation, both with regard to the techniques employed and the results obtained.
