Stephen J. Silver

Stephen Silver is an assistant professor in the Department of Economics and Business at the Virginia Military Institute. He received his PhD from the University of Maryland. Address: Stephen Silver, Department of Economics and Business, Virginia Military Institute, Lexington, VA 24450.

We examined the demographic distribution of 102 subjects with attention deficits in the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) (Wechsler, 1974) standardization sample. Neither age nor occupational status was significant; males were overrepresented (3:1); and the West was overrepresented by 50%, largely due to the relatively high proportion of females in the West who appeared within the attention deficit sample (41% in West vs. 19% in the rest of the nation). Replication is encouraged.
