\title{Early childhood intervention study}
\description{
Cognitive scores of infants in a study of early childhood
intervention. The 103 infants from low income African American
families were divided into a treatment group (58
infants) and a control group (45 infants). Starting at 0.5 years of age
the infants in the treatment group were exposed to an enriched environment.
Each infant's cognitive score on an age-specific, normalized scale was
recorded at ages 1, 1.5, and 2 years.
