THE REGRESSION PORTFOLIO: A STATISTICAL INVESTIVATION OF A RELATIVE DECLINE MODEL
Authors: JONES C.J. , TWEEDIE D.P. , WHITTINGTON G. 
Published: December 2006

This paper reports the results of empirically testing a share selection system based upon the assumption that the stock market over‐values recent performance. This system, which is called the Regression Portfolio, had modest success in yielding above‐average income but was less successful in its capital performance. The results provide some interesting insights into the behaviour of the London Stock Exchange and the performance of quoted companies, during the period 1967–72, in addition to suggesting further work on share selection models.Dans ce papier, on révèle les résultats de l'analyse à laquelle on a soumis un système sélectif d'actions fondé sur l'hypothèse que le marché des valeurs surestime les derniers rendements. Si ce systéme, appelé‘portefeuille régressif’, a relativement permis d'offrir des bénéfices supérieurs à la norme moyenne, il n'a pas su par contre justifier son entière efficacité en ce qui concerne la valeur en capital. Excluant le fait qu'une recherche plus approfondie s'impose sur les moèbles sélectifs d'une action, les résultats fournissent des renseignements intéressants quant au comportement de la Bourse de Londres et au rendement des sociétés cotées en Bourse, au cours de la période 1967–72.Dieser Beitrag berichtet über die empirischen Teste eines Aktienauswahlsystems, welches davon ausgeht, dass der Börsenmarktneue Aktienrentabilität überbewertet. Dieses System, das Regressionsportefeuille heisst, hatte mässigen Erfolg bei der Auswahl von Dividenden, war aber weniger erfolgreich bezüglich der Aktienkurszuwachsrate. Die Ergebnisse beiten interessante Einblicke in das Verhalten der Londoner Börse, sowie in die Leistung von notierten Aktiengesellschaften in den Jahren 1967–72. Darüberhinaus zeigen sie neue Richtungen für weitere Porschungsarbeit auf diesem Gebiet.
YIELDS ON CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES: 1969–1974
Authors: BOND F.M. 
Published: December 2006

In the last five years many of the convertible securities, whose issue was an outstanding feature of company finance in the 1960s, have reached conversion opportunities. This paper reports the results of some simple tests of ex‐post yields achieved on these securities from the date of issue to the last effective conversion opportunity. The results obtained are compared with the performance of the issuer's equity during the same period, and an attempt is made to evaluate convertibles as a form of investment with equity characteristics.Au cours des cinq dernières années, la plupart des valeurs convertibles, dont l'émission tenait une place importante dans le financement des sociétés dans les années 1960, avaient atteint leur droit de conversion. Cet article donne les résultats de quelques tests simples s'appuyant sur les bénéfices ex‐post effectués sur ces titres de la date d'émission à la dernière occasion possible de convertir. On a rapproché les résultats obtenus et la marche réalisée par le capital propre au cours de la même période. On s'appuie aussi à regarder les valeurs convertibles comme étant une forme d'investissement Pqssédant les caractéristiques du capital propre.In den letzten fünf Jahren haven zahlreiche Wandelanleihen, deren Emission als merkwürdiges Kennzeichen der Finanzierung emissionsfähiger Atktiengesellschaften in den sechziger Jahren war, Wandelmöglichkeiten erreicht. Diese Abhandlung berichtet über die Ergebnisse einiger einfachen Teste der ex‐post Renditen dieser Wertpapiere, von ihrer Emission bis zur letzten effektiven Wandelhglichkeit. Die abgeleiteten Ergebnisse werden mit den ex‐post Aktienärsrenditen des Emittents für die selbe Periode verglichen. Es wird versucht, Wandelanleihen als Wertpapiere mit Aktienart zu bewerten.
THE CLINICAL APPLICATION OF THE LOKARE'S MODIFIED JUNIOR MAUDSLEY PERSONALITY INVENTORY WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO 8‐ TO 12‐YEAR‐OLD CHILDREN
Authors: Lokare V. G. 
Published: December 2006

SUMMARYThe results of administering the LMJMPI to 280 normal children and 91 clinic children of 8–12 yr of age are reported. The analysis gave rise to two dimensions of personality which can be identified as neuroticism and extraversion and are completely independent of each other. The findings also show the ability of the LMJMPI to distinguish the clinical group from normals, even when used on a young population of 8–12‐yr‐old children. This suggests that the LMJMPI retains its reliability and validity when used with the younger children, and shows a reliable degree of concordance with psychiatric classification.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF SEXUAL DISCRIMINATION IN CHILDREN*
Authors: Levin Saul M. , Balistrieri James , Schukit Mark 
Published: December 2006

SUMMARYDevelopmental data were obtained on the ability to discriminate between the sexes on the basis of dress, hair and genitalia. The focus of interest was on developmental changes in ability to discriminate on the basis of genitalia and in knowledge that the genital cue constitutes the critical characteristic. It was found that about half of a group of 7‐yr‐old children were able to discriminate on the basis of the genital cue while significantly more than half of the 9‐yr‐olds manifested such discrimination. However, it was only in the 11‐yr‐old group that more than half of the Ss appeared to be aware that the genital cue is the dominant characteristic differentiating boys from girls.
A NOTE ON THE EFFECTS OF ADMINISTRATION CONDITIONS UPON PERSONALITY SCORES IN CHILDREN
Authors: Nias D. K. B. 
Published: December 2006

SUMMARYThis paper raises the problem of respondent anonymity in test administration. A total of 380 children, aged 11 and 12 years, were given a revised version of the Junior Eysenck Personality Inventory that includes a psychoticism scale. An administration condition of anonymity was compared with one in which children were required to give their names. While the results gave no clear differences between the two conditions, the expected differences between boys and girls emerged. The correlations between the scales, and the internal consistency coefficients of the scales, also compared well with those from other versions of the inventory. It is suggested that under normal research conditions, children wilt tend to give honest, or al least consistent, answers to this type of questionnaire.
THE FIRST BORN
Authors: Fortes Meyer 
Published: December 2006

SUMMARYI return thus to my starting point in Emanuel Miller's model of the cycle of the generations. What I have endeavored to show is that the first born marks a critical, perhaps the most critical stage in the cycle. Like him, I take parenthood to be the crucial factor in the cycle. It is a truism to say that parenthood is a universal human (some would say primate) institution. What is more to the point is that how it is created in each case and in general, and how it runs its course, the relationships and the patterns of custom and of behaviour it generates—these are phenomena where all the human sciences in which Miller was interested meet on common ground. I hope therefore that this lecture, deviously as it has wandered and perhaps tried your patience, will commend itself as a fining tribute to the memory of Emanuel Miller.
CHILDREN OF WEST INDIAN IMMIGRANTS—III. HOME CIRCUMSTANCES AND FAMILY PATTERNS
Authors: Rutter Michael , Yule Bridget , Morton Janis , Bagley Christopher 
Published: December 2006

SUMMARYA total population survey was made of all 10‐yr‐old children in an inner London borough. As part of this study, systematic standardised interviews were held with random samples of parents of children from West Indian families and of children from non‐immigrant families. In contrast to the situation in the Caribbean, the nuclear family was the norm for West Indian families living in London, just as it was non‐immigrant families. In many respects the West Indians and non‐immigrant families were closely similar. No differences were found in rates of parental mental disorder or criminality and the quality of family relationships was the same in the two groups. However, the West Indian parents were more likely to hold semiskilled or unskilled manual jobs and to live in poor quality overcrowded housing. In spite of this, they were also more likely to own their own house. West Indian families had many more children and differed somewhat in their patterns of child rearing. The significance of these findings is discussed in terms of both likely effects on child development and also the future implications for West Indian families living in London.
EFFECTS OF BRIEF SEPARATION FROM PARENT ON YOUNG CHILDREN
Authors: Smith Lars 
Published: December 2006

SUMMARYData On Child‐Parent Interaction, Activity And Behaviour In A Test Situation Were Obtained From Young Children Who had had A Single 3‐Min Separation And From Non‐Separated Controls. During Separation, Crying Increased And Non‐Crying Vocalisation Decreased. No Other Immediate Effects Of Separation Were Observed. One Week Later, the Previously Separated Subjects Tended To Show Objects Less Frequently And Also Manifested Less Manipulative Play. There Were Marked Differences In Their Readiness To Separate Themselves From Their Parents.
CLUSTERING AND SOCIALLY‐DIRECTED BEHAVIORS IN A PLAYGROUP OF 1‐YR‐OLD BOYS
Authors: Mueller Edward , Rich Adrienne 
Published: December 2006

SUMMARYThis study aims at documenting the presence of clustering in a playgroup of five 1‐yr‐old boys. Clusters are of interest because they bring very young children in repeated contact. In addition, a method is developed for analyzing socially‐directed behavior in early peer contacts. When the method is applied to the sample of cluster contacts, it is found that both the frequency and complexity of socially‐directed behavior increase across the three‐mouth period studied. The results suggest that 1‐yr‐olds can profit from regular contact with a consistent group of children. They also indicate the promise of using the methods developed in additional studies.
BRAIN DAMAGE SYNDROMES IN CHILDHOOD: CONCEPTS AND FINDINGS*
Authors: Rutter Michael 
Published: December 2006

SUMMARYA great deal has still to be learned on the various ways in which brain damage predisposes children to psychiatric disorder. Research has shown that many of the stereotypes of “the brain damaged child” were mistaken and misleading. But, equally, studies have clearly shown the major importance of brain damage as a factor contributing in a substantial way to the genesis of child psychiatric disorder. Treatment methods have still to be evaluated but already there are pointers as to how psychiatric disorders in neurologically impaired or brain damaged children should be treated. In dismissing over simplified catch phrase concepts concerning brain damage syndromes it is important not to overlook the reality of the problems to which they refer.
PROGRESSIVE DISINTEGRATIVE PSYCHOSIS OF CHILDHOOD
Authors: Corbett John , Harris Ruth , Taylor Eric , Trimble Michael 
Published: December 2006

SummaryThe literature concerning dementia and disintegrative psychosis in childhood is reviewed. Two cases with different neurodegenerative disorders presenting with late juvenile onset psychiatric symptoms arc described. There appears little point in retaining the eponymous syndromes of de Sanctis and Heller. The diagnostic category of Progressive Disintegrative Psychosis is appropriate to describe the clinical psychiatric picture in these children. Because of the rarity of such conditions further collaboration between child psychiatrists, paediatiric neurologists and neuropathologists is needed to delineate further the psychiatric syndromes associated with the neurodegenerative disorders.
MATERNAL SEPARATION VS REMOVAL PROM GROUP COMPANIONS IN RHESUS MONKEYS
Authors: McGinnis Lynda M. 
Published: December 2006

SUMMARYThe present study involving the removal of rhesus monkey mother‐infant pairs from their social groups, but not mother‐infant separation, was compared with earlier studies involving maternal separation. The comparisons indicated that maternal separation per se produced the most distress in infant rhesus monkeys. Effects on the mothers' behaviour of removal from the social group produced disturbance to the mother‐infant relationship without a maternal separation experience, however, as the mothers had to re‐establish social relationships on reunion. The nature of the mothers' social relationships affected the rate at which the mothers re‐established their social positions in the group.
SOCIAL INTERACTION IN WITHDRAWN AND AGGRESSIVE MALADJUSTED GIRLS: A STUDY OF GAZE
Authors: Rutter D. R. , O'Brien Pamela 
Published: December 2006

SUMMARYThe purpose of this experiment was to examine the social behaviour of withdrawn and aggressive girls, taking gaze as the dependent measure. Twenty girls aged 12–15 years, half of them diagnosed as withdrawn and half aggressive, each took part in two video‐taped conversations with an adult, one a “personal” conversation, the other “impersonal”. It was predicted, in line with previous research on withdrawn adults, that the withdrawn girls would gaze less than the aggressive group, but that the difference would be marked only in the personal conversation. Both hypotheses were supported, and the implications for our understanding of maladjustment and for research on gaze are discussed.
SELECTIVE PLACEMENT OF ADOPTED CHILDREN: PREVALENCE AND EFFECTS
Authors: Hardy‐Brown Karen , Plomin Robert , Greenhalgh John , Jax Karen 
Published: December 2006

SUMMARYShould adopted children be placed with adoptive parents who are matched to them on physical or behavioral characteristics? This question has been informally debated for many years, yet there is very little theoretical or empirical work on the topic. The purpose of this article is to review what is known of the extent of selective placement from previous studies, to examine data concerning the effects of selective placement and to explore some theoretical implications of selective placement. The article addresses the questions of the extent of selective placement and the effect of selective placement on adopted children. It is suggested that even where substantial selective placement occurs, it may not always be producing the desired effect.
THE QUESTION OF EGOCENTRISM: THE YOUNG CHILD'S COMPETENCE IN THE CO‐ORDINATION OF PERSPECTIVES
Authors: Peter Hobson R. 
Published: December 2006

SUMMARYThe young child, Piaget suggests, is unable to imagine any perspective but his own; still less can he co‐ordinate a universe of possible perspectives. This facility is said to require a flexibility and coherence of thought which the individual acquires only when he reaches the stage of concrete operations at the age of about 6 or 7 years. To test this proposition, subjects between 21/2 and 7 years were invited to participate in a game in which pipe‐cleaner men play hide‐and‐seek. The results indicate that even very young children have the potential to co‐ordinate points of view.
PROBLEMS IN THE CATEGORIZATION OF CHILD AND ADOLESCENT EEGs*
Authors: Kaufman Kenneth Roland , Harris Ruth , Shaffer David 
Published: December 2006

SUMMARYA negative replication of Nuffield's (1961a, b) neuropsychiatric correlation study is presented. Of 946 patients seen over a twelve‐year period in the EEG Department of The Maudsley Hospital, 350 had spike abnormalities in their EEGs; however, only 22 patients had “pure” EEG patterns (unilateral temporal lobe spike; generalized 3 c/sec spike and wave; generalized, irregular spike and wave). Of these, 11 had only had a single EEG and a further 2 patients had normal follow‐up recordings. The authors conclude that previously reported neuropsychiatric correlations based upon “pure” EEGs may be the result of chance finding only.
INTELLECTUAL PERFORMANCE AND READING SKILLS AFTER LOCALIZED HEAD INJURY IN CHILDHOOD
Authors: Chadwick Oliver , Rutter Michael , Thompson James , Shaffer David 
Published: December 2006

SUMMARYNinety ‐seven school‐age children who had previously sustained B unilateral compound depressed fracture of the skull, involving a tear in the dura and observed damage to the underlying brain, were studied using tests of intelligence and reading attainment together with more specialized tests of specific cognitive Functions Intellectual impairment was significantly associated with the overall severity of brain trauma, as reflected in the duration of unconsciousness and treatment for cerebral oedema It was also probably associated with the severity of local trauma, as reflected in late post‐traumatic epilepsy or motor abnormalities contralateral to the side of the injury. Neither die child's age at injury nor the hemisphere damaged had much effect on the pattern of cognitive deficit.
PERIPHERAL AND CENTRAL HANDICAP AND ENCODING
Authors: O'Connor N. , Hermelin B. 
Published: December 2006

SUMMARYA linear model of information processing led to many experiments on learning difficulties in the subnormal and severely subnormal. It assumes learning can result from a break in the chain of information flow at any point but overlooks compensatory mechanisms common to a developing organism. To compensate for the model's difficulties, we compared blind and deaf children with subnormal and subnormal autistic children (i.e. localized with general cognitive incapacities). Absence of a modality led to alternative encoding strategies, but in certain circumstances they also occurred in the centrally handicapped. Reasons for the similarities and differences are discussed.
A DOUBLE‐BLIND DRUG TRIAL OF TREATMENT IN YOUNG CHILDREN WITH WAKING PROBLEMS
Authors: Richman Naomi 
Published: December 2006

AbstractA double‐blind trial using trimeprazine tartrate was carried out in 22 children with severe waking problems. On parental verbal reports sleep was significantly improved on the drug compared with the original baseline and the placebo, but diaries kept by the parents showed that this improvement was clinically only moderate, with many wakeful nights still occurring. Taking the drug produced no permanent effect on sleep patterns and a follow‐up of 14 children 6 months later showed persisting sleep problems in the majority.

Published: December 2006

Abstract– Both high expressed emotion (EE) and psychiatric disorders were frequent in the parents of children and adolescents with disruptive behavior disorder (DBD, N= 34) and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD, N = 49) compared to normal controls (NC, N = 41).Parental psychiatric diagnosis was significantly related to high‐EE in fathers (p= .0002) and mothers (p= .0001) of all groups combined, and in parents of the ill groups (p = .03). Absence of diagnosis was associated with low‐EE in fathers (p = .0006) and mothers (p= .04) of the controls.Psychiatric diagnosis was the only significant predictor for high‐EE in fathers, while for mothers child's diagnosis was a stronger predictor.
IQ and the Genetics of Autism
Authors: Szatmari Peter , Jones Marshall B. 
Published: December 2006

Abstract– While there seems to be general agreement that genetic factors play some role in the etiology of autism, many important questions remain unresolved. The purpose of this paper is to review five issues with respect to the association between low IQ and autism from a familial‐genetic viewpoint: (1) does IQ estimate the severity of the autistic genotype?; (2) what is the relationship between probands’and sibs’IQs?; (3) what is the relationship between parents’and probands’IQs?; (4) why do females with autism have lower IQs than males with the disorder?; and (5) does IQ vary with the cause of autism?With respect to each issue, possible resolutions are outlined, as are the implications for understanding the genetic mode of transmission. The review concludes with a possible model for the genetic etiology of autism.
Out of Sight or Out of Mind? Another Look at Deception in Autism
Authors: Baron‐Cohen Simon 
Published: December 2006

Abstract The penny‐hiding game is a deception game that occurs naturally in parent‐child and child‐child interaction. It involves minimal linguistic demands, and is lots of fun. Oswald and Ollendick (1989) employed it with subjects with autism and reported an impaired capacity for deception. They also found that this correlated with performance on both a false belief (“theory of mind”) test as well as various measures of social behaviour. The experiment reported here set out to replicate Oswald and Ollendick's important results, and then extend them by using a new technique for error analysis.We succeeded in replicating the autism‐specific deception impairment as well as the finding that deception capacity correlates highly with performance on a false belief test. In addition, the new analytic technique discriminated the group with autism from controls more clearly than the traditional index of deception. Specifically, subjects with autism, whilst fully capable of enjoying the game as a game of object occlusion (keeping things out of sight), failed to perceive the game as a game of information occlusion (keeping things out of mind), unlike normal children or subjects with a mental handicap of an equivalent or lower mental age. The dissociation in autism between occluding objects vs occluding information is discussed in relation to other research showing that subjects with autism are impaired in understanding the principle that “seeing leads to knowing”.
