S ummary . This study reports the contribution of maternal general ability, some developmental milestones, early motor development, language development, and experiences to intelligence as measured at age five. The results confirm that there is a relatively low level of prediction of intelligence as the multiple correlation of all the independent variables is only 0–61. The implications of the low level of the variance of intelligence explained is discussed.
