Marked and consistent differences in academic performance between boys and girls were found in a longitudinal study of young school-age children. Performance, measured by objective tests administered by a psychologist, was higher in girls in all grades (Grade I to Grade V). However, tests of intelligence, perceptual maturity and conceptual ability showed no sex-linked differences — the only tests favouring the girls were those of motor ability. To explain the better academic performance of female children, personality attributes were considered (C.P.I.). Statistically significant differences were found in three personality dimensions: girls were found to be obedient and dependent, sober-minded and quiet, practical and realistic. In contrast the boys were found to be assertive and independent, excitable and happy-go-lucky, sensitive and free thinking. The significance of these findings is discussed in terms of academic achievement and also in terms of culturally-determined sex-typing of young children.

The paper presents outcomes of a longitudinal study on learning motivation in children of early school age. The aim was to reveal the leading motives in first, second, third and fourth grades and to explore the dynamics of some learning motives in children over the whole period of elementary school. As it was found, the learning activity in the children was mostly motivated by social motives, among which the leading ones were the motives of self-determination and well-being. As for learning motives, over the course of all four years the children were for the most part motivated by the content of the learning activity, and not by its process. The dynamics of certain social motives of the learning activity varied across the sample, with some going through the periods of increase and decrease and others having a one-way dynamics. The study also revealed a decrease in the motivation rooted in the learning activity itself between the second and third year; at the same time, in the second, third and fourth years the children were more motivated by the content of the learning activity than by its process.

A longitudinal study of EEG and neuropsychological memory parameters of 20 children with signs of intellectual endowments combined with social communication difficulties have been carried out. The data of gifted children is compared to data of students in regular school. The neurophysiological study was conducted with the participation of children of 7–16 years old, and children of 7–12 years participated in in the study of memory parameters. Gifted children of 7–12 years compared to age norm have demonstrated better memory value and more stable EEG-pattern with law theta, alpha-3, and beta-3 activities, and increased activity of alpha-1 and beta-2 frequency ranges. We chose to study the integral index of "alpha + beta / delta + theta" that reflects the main manifestation of the "growing" brain bioelectrical activity in school-age children. Normally, this indicator gradually increased from primary school age to youthful, while gifted children was significantly lower than normal, and only after 14 years it increases abruptly and reaches normative values to 16 years. It has been suggested that delay in the formation of high-frequency components of EEG alpha-rhythm is representative of the maturation of neural networks in this group of intellectually gifted children and adolescents.
