|Early Supplementary Feeding and Cognition (Society for Research
in Child Development, 1993, 123 pages)| The findings that we
have reported are most prominent in the cohort of maximum
exposure. Thus, unless otherwise specified, the discussion that
follows focuses on this group. The coherence of the results
summarized at the close of Chapter VI is perhaps their most
striking feature. Among them, the most conspicuous is the
significant interactive effects of treatment x SES on five of
the seven tests (except reading and literacy) included in the
psychoeducational test battery. Consistently, the subjects who
benefited the most from the Atole were those at the lowest
levels of the SES continuum. A second major finding is the
interactive effect of treatment x grade: those who had reached
the highest grades in school and had received the Atole fared
better than all other groups on all three tests tapping reading
skills. In the information-processing test battery, there were
main effects on memory and paired associa
