LABIN, Agustina; TABORDA, Alejandra  and  BRENLLA, María Elena. The Relationship Between Maternal Educational Level and Infant-Juvenile Cognitive Performance Based on WISC-IV Scale. Psicogente [online]. 2015, vol.18, n.34, pp.293-302. ISSN 0124-0137.  https://doi.org/10.17081/psico.18.34.505.

This research paper aims to explore the relationship between intellectual performance and maternal educational level. 50 mother-child couples were sampled. To assess the children's cognitive performance, the Wechsler (4th edition (WISC-IV) scale and a demographic questionnaire of maternal education were used. The results showed significant correlations between the two variables. Consequently, maternal education as relevant performance predictor in WISC-IV scale is confirmed. The conclusions also prove the need to recognize socio-environmental factors around this subject to develop a more comprehensive interpretation related to the test results.

Keywords : Maternal educational level; WISC-IV; Childhood/adolescence.
