Data from an experiment by William D. Rohwer on kindergarten children designed to examine how well performance on a set of paired-associate (PA) tasks can predict performance on some measures of aptitude and achievement.
Format
A data frame with 69 observations on the following 10 variables.
groupa numeric vector, corresponding to SES
SESSocioeconomic status, a factor with levels
HiLoSATa numeric vector: score on a Student Achievement Test
PPVTa numeric vector: score on the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test
Ravena numeric vector: score on the Raven Progressive Matrices Test
na numeric vector: performance on a 'named' PA task
sa numeric vector: performance on a 'still' PA task
nsa numeric vector: performance on a 'named still' PA task
naa numeric vector: performance on a 'named action' PA task
ssa numeric vector: performance on a 'sentence still' PA task

Details
The variables SAT, PPVT and Raven are responses to be
potentially explained by performance on the paired-associate (PA) learning
taskn, s, ns, na, and ss.
