“…The finding of greater variability in the low Apgar group is in accord with the findings of Yacorzynski and Tucker (1960), who reported a higher percentage of brighter, as well as duller, children in one group of children with complicated deliveries. Graham et al (1962) criticized Yacorzynski and Tucker's work on the basis of the fact that a greater effort was expended in locating these children than in locating the control group, which they felt might have introduced a selective bias.…”

“…A difference in selection procedure may explain the unusual findings recently reported by Yacorzynski and Tucker (1960). They compared the intelligence of 54 control Ss with the intelligence of 70 children who had experienced either anoxia or a precipitate delivery.…”

“…This phenomenon of greater spread in the complicated group had been observed originally in two separate studies and these data were combined for the above report. The authors (Yacorzynski & Tucker, 1960) raised the question whether the increased variability was an artifact or whether it meant that "the same conditions which are responsible for mental deficiency are also responsible for high ability" (p. 203). As Figures 1 and 2 show, the finding did not appear in the present study.…”

The present research was primarily concerned with the question of whether adverse perinatal experiences, particularly those reducing the oxygen supply, are followed by permanent impairment. Interest in the broad problem of "birth injury" and its consequences has arisen, in part, because there exist a number of defects not completely accounted for either on a genetic basis or as reactions to the psychological environment. These defects range from the serious disorders of cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and mental retardation to a variety of minor difficulties which may include speech defects, difficulty in learning to read, and behavior problems.

“…The authors did calculate mean differences but ignored them in drawing conclusions. Despite the absence of a significant mean difference between precipitate and control groups, Yacorzynski and Tucker (1960) stated that precipitate labor can produce the most deleterious effects on later development as far as the intelligence is considered as measured by the Stanford-Binet (p. 201).…”

“…Comments on "What Price Intelligence?" A recent article in the American Psychologist, by Yacorzynski and Tucker (1960) compared the IQs of 54 control subjects with the IQs of 70 children who had experienced either anoxia or a precipitate delivery. They reported a greater incidence of both low IQs (below 70) and of high IQs (above 110) in the group with perinatal complications.…”
