Wishing Doesn't Make It So: A Close Look at Stehbens' "Refutation"

Jonathan Kellerman1

University of Southern California School of Medicine

1Jonathan Kellerman Ph.D. 14755 Ventura Boulevard, Suite 102, Sherman Oaks, California 91403.

In 1982 we failed to replicate findings of Stehbens and associates concerning a disproportionately high percentage of newly diagnosed children with cancer exhibiting Verbal-Performance discrepancy of 15 points or greater. In addition we raised several methodological questions about Stehbens' study. In a current article Stehbens claims to refute our critique. However a close examination of the "refutation" reveals it to confirm our initial conclusions.

Key words: Leukemia; IQ; pediatric cancer.
