The article presents a clinical study on the results of the Bender Visual Motor Gestalt Test on two groups of school children. The two groups comprise of a group having normal medical histories and the other having medical histories of poliomyelitis who are matched for age, sex, intelligence, socio-economic status, school, and grade before the onset of the disease. It also cites the three factors evaluated which include the motor control, intellectual control, and affective control which showed significant statistical interrelation.

The article determines the effects of the variables associated with poliomyelitis or the variables associated with hospitalization illness on the observed test differences between clinical and control groups. The medical records at the Minneapolis General Hospital, Minnesota and the Sister Elizabeth Kenny Institute are studied based on the medical check list developed. It also compares the results of the school excuse cases and the greatest loss cases in terms of the clinical medical data. Tables of the various results are also presented.

The article presents a summary of the results of the study on the effects of poliomyelitis on the personality and intellectual development of school children. The factors in the investigation include age, sex, intelligence, socio-economic status, school, grade, and examiner. The results provide that boys are more frequently infected with the poliomyelitis virus than girls. It also offers suggestions for future research such as the child's behavior during the illness and convalescent periods which would require the setting up of a specific research program.

The article presents an introduction to the "Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development" regarding the intelligence and personality factors associated with poliomyelitis among school age children. It cites that personality factors associated with diseases among children should also be investigated. Poliomyelitis ranks first among the crippling diseases on children and it should be studied along with its effect on child development. It also studies the possible effects of the disease on intellectual functions and personality characteristics.

The article discusses the results of the conducted tests on the clinical and control groups regarding the effect of poliomyelitis on the intelligence and personality of school children with respect to their age. Forty-one younger children and sixty older children in the research population are tested. Several tables showing the results of the tests which include the Stanford-Binet IQ tests, the Porteus-Maze test, the Digit-Symbol tests,and the Hunt-Minnesota tests are also presented. A table of the California Test Scores for Four Age Groups is also presented.

The article discusses the results of the conducted tests on the clinical and control groups on the effect of poliomyelitis on the intelligence and personality of school children with regards to their sex and age. Sex differences are considered because of the differential treatment that boys and girls get under conditions of illness and on normal conditions. The conducted tests include the Stanford-Binet tests, the Porteus IQ tests, and the Digit-Symbol tests. It also cites the effects of personality factors such as tenacity, impulsiveness, and irritability.

The article discusses the sampling, methods of analysis, and the procedures used in the study on the effect of poliomyelitis to the development of school children. It also cites the two series of tests conducted. Series one includes the Stanford-Binet test, California Personality Test, Hunt-Minnesota Test for Organic Brain Damage, and Bender-Gestalt test. Series two includes Stanford-Binet, California Personality Test, Wechsler-Bellevue Digit-Symbol Test, and Porteus Maze test. The records are obtained from the Kenny Institute and the Minneapolis General Hospital, Minnesota.

The article examines the effects of the different types of poliomyelitis on the intelligence and personality of school children. The seven diagnostic types of the disease are recombined into three classifications for convenience in summarizing statistical results. The three classifications include the bulbar, paralytic, and non-paralytic. The tests include the Stanford-Binet IQ tests, the Digit-Symbol tests, and the Porteus IQ tests. It also cites an alternative hypothesis that some of the non-paralytic cases may retain some motor incoordination and impulsiveness.

The article discusses the results of the conducted tests on the clinical and control groups regarding the effect of poliomyelitis on the intelligence and personality of school children. Results of the Stanford-Binet test, Porteus-Maze test, and the Hunt-Minnesota test are analyzed. It cites that the post-test variability is greater than pre-test variability on both clinical and control groups. It also cites the effects of sex differences in the Porteus-Maze test which may be exaggerated when the subjects are ill or disabled.

The article presents the characteristics of the clinical group with the greatest loss in the conducted Stanford-Binet IQ tests to determine whether or not poliomyelitis and normal school children could be differentiated in intellectual and personality characteristics. A table showing the differences in the socio-economic status of the greatest loss group compared to the control group is also presented. A table which shows the pre- and post-test results of the Stanford-Binet IQ tests for the clinical and control groups is also presented.

The article discusses the results of the study conducted on fifteen school children who are considered school excuse cases on the effects of poliomyelitis on their intelligence and personality. The school excuse cases are the students who are absent from school for a period of about one school year. It also cites the miscellaneous data on the school excuse cases which include age distribution, socio-economic status, and types of poliomyelitis diagnosis. It also presents a table of the results of the Stanford-Binet IQ tests and their paired control cases.
