hollingworth's publications were systematically presented in the psychology of subnormal children (1920) and in special talents and defects (1923) (poffenberger 1940). forty-five out of the seventy-five articles published by hollingworth were about the subject of the superior child (poffenberger 1940). even throughout her work with gifted children, hollingworth was conscientious about considering her results in a social context. she concludes her 1925 article "vocabulary as a symptom of intellect" by stating: "a summary of present knowledge, derived from experimentation, would therefore state that an individual's vocabulary is one of the most significant symptoms of his 'inherent power to learn how to accomplish or how to obtain what she wants.' this does not, of course, imply that from the quality of a person's vocabulary it is possible to predict his future success in life. 'success in life' depends upon strong determinants besides intelligence" (hollingworth 1925, pg. 158). it is noteworthy that she considered the implications of her findings in a perspective larger than a psychological article.
