“…"Science studies," as such, are conducted from historical (Gruber, 1974;Shapin, 1994), sociological (Bloor, Barnes, & Henry, 1996;Merton, 1973), and psychological (Feist & Gorman, 1998;Gholson, Shadish, Neimeyer, & Houts, 1989) perspectives, with the last of these largely informed by research and theory in social, developmental, and cognitive psychology (e.g., Giere, 1988;Gopnik, 1996;Khlar, 2000;Shadish & Fuller, 1994). A behavior-analytic approach to the science of science, in contrast, remains to be more fully developed (see Burton, 1980;Creel, 1987;Fraley, 1996;Johnston & Pennypacker, 1993;Lee, 1985;Marr, 1986;Schnaitter, 1980;Skinner, 1956b;Skinner, 1957c, pp. 418-431; Terrell & Johnston, 1989).…”

This paper introduces the nature and practice of bibliography (e.g., definition, history, and genres); it reviews the extant B. F Skinner bibliographies (1958 to 2001); and it describes the methods used in constructing a new, comprehensive, and corrected bibliography of Skinner's primary-source published works. The bibliography includes 291 items from across 16 categories of publications (e.g., books, articles, chapters, monographs, book reviews, manuals, encyclopedia entries, letters to the editor) and lists them in chronological order (1930 to 1999). A discussion section addresses the bibliography's limitations, how it might be enlarged and expanded, its value for qualitative and quantitative historical inquiry, and the beginnings of a "Skinner industry."

“…The results of this finding revealed that reasoning skills hold a very better place in the performance of students in Civic. Similar findings such as Terrel and Johnson (1989), Cavallo (1996), Yenilmez, Sungur, and Tekkaya (2006), Yilmaz and Alp (2006), Yong (2007) as well as James (2011) gave credence to the evidence that there was positive relationship between verbal reasoning and students' academic performance.…”

The study examined the relationship of students' self-concept, knowledge of verbal reasoning skill and learning readiness as correlate of achievement in Civic in senior secondary schools in Osun State, Nigeria. The study employed correlational survey research design. The population consisted of senior secondary schools 2 Civic students in public secondary schools in Osun State Nigeria. Simple random sampling technique was employed in selecting 10 local governments from the 30 local governments in Osun State. Ten schools were selected using simple random sampling from each of the selected ten local governments, 60 SS2 students were then selected from each of the ten schools using simple random sampling technique. Four research instruments were developed, validated and used for the study. The data collected were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient and Regression Analysis. The study concluded among others, that students' self-concept, knowledge of verbal reasoning skill and learning readiness had composite effects on students' achievement in Civic.

“…The study population included children under the age of 12 years whose duration of exposure was measured. Ravens standard progressive matrices [ 23 ], Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale [ 24 ], Graphic Test of Reasoning (GTR) [ 25 ], Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration (VMI) defined as the coordination of fine motor and visual perceptual abilities, Saudi-Based standard scores, and TONI Saudi-based scores and rank percentile were applied in the studies for measuring the IQ [ 26 ]. The possible score of IQ measurements for determining brain intelligence function was almost the same in these different scales.…”

The effect of lead exposure on IQ test scores in children under 12 years: a systematic review and meta-analysis of case-control studies

et al. 2022

An inevitable exposure to the toxic heavy metal such as lead in our environmental can have irreversible effects on children’s mental performance.In this study, 3316 children in 8 case-control studies were selected for review. The case group was exposed to a concentration of lead above 10 μg/dL, and the control group was exposed to a concentration of less than 10 μg/dL, but the duration of exposure was different among studies, and the subgroup analysis was performed based on this variable.In the subgroup with duration of exposure less than the average of 4.5 years, the difference of IQ test score between two groups was significant (MD = −3.53) (P-value <0.05). Also, in the subgroup with more than 4.5 years of duration, the difference of IQ test score was significant (MD = −22.63) (P-value < 0.001).This study demonstrates that the concentration and duration of lead exposure have a large effect on mental function in children.
