Thanks Dottie and delbows for clarifying. And thanks for being kind in responding to my first attempt at " I think I know what I'm talking about"! smile

If I remember correctly concerning the Harcourt Study(thanks, I'm great at pulling data out of the air and not remembering where I got it from), the kids chosen had previously scored 130+ on the previous WISC.
Does anyone have the link, I could probably find it if needed.

Is that what you meant by not sure how the children were chosen?
Also, Dottie, I really am pretty new to this and it was explained to me "all the children who took the test".
Could you explain the term norming sample. Remember, I'm not the math/statistics person and someone told me there are no stupid questions..........right????
Please don't say only stupid people smile

Thanks,
Incog
