Benbow

In August, Benbow and her husband, psychologist David Lubinski explained at the Vanderbilt University when the origin of SMPY crossed the courtyard. Bemba was a graduate student at Johns Hopkins University and met Stanley in 1976. Ben Bow and Rubens, who have been instructing this research since Stanley retired, brought it to Vanderbilt based on 1998. "In a sense, this is the beginning of his professor's career, so this will bring a full research circle of Julian," Benbow said, she is near the university psychology laboratory , American architecture was studied in this field. It was built in 1915 and houses a small collection of antique calculators - Stanley began his academic work in psychometrics and statistics in the early 1950s.

Newsweek tends to condemn the data of Benbo and Stanley in particular. Benbow and Stanley clearly ignored it in reporting the limitations of the results, as there was only one sample of the researcher who was tested in 1976, and only the twenty-eight graders. Among the eighth graders of elementary school, 27.1% of the eighth graders in 1972 gained over 600 points, and all the girls did not score "(Benbow and Stanley, 1980, p. 1263). However, "Newsweek" is seeking extreme values. Increasing the importance of their report did not use such retraining: "In the high level military subjects of 1976, more than half of boys won over 600 points, but girls did not "(Does men have a mathematical gene?" 1980, p. 73 "

In 1980, two psychologists at Johns Hopkins University reported that 7 years math screening in journal Science was more male than girls (Benbow and Stanley, pp. 1262 - 1264). As the researchers tested the seventh grade students, they probably all had the same academic learning style, and the result was a difference in scoring due to the fact that boys received math courses rather than girls Weakened the hypothesis that there is. Benbow and Stanley's works are also amazed by "Newsweek", "Time", "New York Times", "Reader Digest", "People Weekly", "Science Digest", "Ms. Today", "Inquiries All Over the country" "These extensions show the same trend as above and increase the specificity of the original sentence.Some other differences: The original Benbow and Stanley's works are" mathematically Is gender difference in ability: facts or artifacts?
