      5-year-olds.

AB  - The effects of preventive education and birth order on IQ scores of 95 
      economically disadvantaged children at risk for retarded intellectual development 
      were studied. Experimental first- and later-born children participated from birth 
      in a 5-year programme of systematic educational intervention. An equal number of 
      children served as controls and received no systematic intervention. First-borns 
      prevailed as the brighter children in both the educational treatment group and 
      the control group when Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence 
      (WPPSI) full scale and verbal IQ scores were compared. Furthermore, mothers of 
      first-borns (70% of whom were only-born at age 5) achieved significantly higher 
      WAIS scores than did mothers of later-born children. Results suggest that 
      later-born disadvantaged children are at greatest risk for developmental 
      retardation.
