To compare the memory function and perception of culturally deprived achievers with underachievers, 36 culturally deprived children were assigned to one of two groups according to their achievement level, in relation to their age and IQ. Underachievers were children achieving 6 mo. or more below expected level. Achievers were children achieving within at least 5 mo. of expected level. All subjects were between the ages of 8 and 12 yr. and were in Grades 4, 5, or 6. Four tests were administered, the Block Design and Digit Span subtests of the WISC, Memory-for-Designs, and the Minnesota Percepto-Diagnostic Test. The two groups did not differ on the first three tests, but the achievers performed significantly better on the last test than the underachievers. It was speculated that the differences were related to level of motor execution.
为了比较文化匮乏环境中成绩优秀者与成绩欠佳者的记忆功能和感知能力，36名来自文化匮乏环境的儿童根据其相对于年龄和智商的成绩水平被分为两组。成绩欠佳者是指成绩比预期水平低6个月或更多的儿童。成绩优秀者是指成绩至少在预期水平5个月范围内的儿童。所有受试者年龄在8至12岁之间，就读于四年级、五年级或六年级。进行了四项测试，即韦氏儿童智力量表的积木图案和数字广度分测验、图案记忆测验以及明尼苏达感知诊断测验。在前三项测试中，两组没有差异，但在最后一项测试中，成绩优秀者的表现明显优于成绩欠佳者。据推测，这些差异与运动执行水平有关。
