After a twelve months' interval, therefore, the actual average and
median gains are slightly larger than after the first six months, but
the variability is very much greater. Therefore, when expressed in terms
of P. E., the gains are smaller. One of the test group cases (No. 13)
who had gained 8 pounds after six months, gained 14 pounds in the second
period of six months, making a total gain of 22 pounds. This gain is
exceeded, however, by one in the control group (No. 12) who gained 3.5
pounds in six months, and 25.1 pounds more in the ensuing five months.
This is certainly an enormous gain for five months, under any
circumstances. Turning to Table XIV we find no corresponding gain in
I.Q. for this child. Indeed there is a loss of five points.
