Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine if biobehavioral correlates of PCM (WISC subtest) performance offered some promise in the diagnosis and prescription in the learning situation for southwest Native American students. The need for an approach of this kind was predicated on the effectiveness of current testing and labeling practices in "Indian education," and the fact that the southwest Native American student who attends off-reservation boarding schools is generally disadvantaged. Disadvantaged is defined as that state of anomie (Spilka, 1970) and poverty, malnutrition and disease, and family disorganization which char­acterizes the student population used in this study.
