This study is an examination of the task performance patterns of Black and White, working and middle-class American children across a nonvaried and a varied presentation format condition: the relation of such patterns to activity levels in the home and to standardized achievement was also examined. Performance was better under the varied than the nonvaried format condition. This pattern held for all ethnic group/class combinations with the exception of Black middle-class children, for whom performance under the two conditions was virtually identical. Moreover, Black children, especially Black working-class children, reported greater home activity levels than did their White counterparts. Neither home activity level nor achievement was functionally related to patterns of performance.
本研究考察了美国黑人和白人、工人阶级和中产阶级儿童在单一呈现形式和多样呈现形式条件下的任务表现模式：还考察了这些模式与家庭活动水平以及标准化成绩之间的关系。在多样呈现形式条件下的表现优于单一呈现形式条件下的表现。除了黑人中产阶级儿童外，这种模式适用于所有种族/阶层组合，对他们来说，两种条件下的表现几乎相同。此外，黑人儿童，尤其是黑人工人阶级儿童，报告的家庭活动水平高于白人儿童。家庭活动水平和成绩与表现模式均无功能上的关联。
