Population sex differences in IQ at age 11 : the Scottish mental survey 1932

There is uncertainty whether the sexes differ with respect to their mean levels and variabilities in mental ability test scores. Here we describe the cognitive ability distribution in 80,000+ children— almost everyone born in Scotland in 1921—tested at age 11 in 1932. There were no significant mean differences in cognitive test scores between boys and girls, but there was a highly significant d...

Cerebral white matter abnormalities and lifetime cognitive change: a 67-year follow-up of the Scottish Mental Survey of 1932.

Cerebral white matter abnormalities relate to cognitive functioning in elders. We examine whether this association is (a) independent of mental ability in youth and (b) related to general and/or specific mental abilities. We retested 83 participants of the Scottish Mental Survey of 1932 on a battery of mental tests. Their brains were scanned by magnetic resonance imaging. Three independent rati...

The pupillary changes in the Holmes-Adie syndrome.

Adie (1932) described the complete form of the disorder as comprising the typical tonic pupil, with its characteristic delayed reaction to convergence and the loss of some of the tendon reflexes, whereas in the incomplete form he included those cases in which the reflexes...
