Second-hand report: the article summarizes Dearborn's Wisconsin study as background motivating its own elementary-to-high-school investigation. The reviewed study's design is not described here beyond its title and finding, so the claim is attributed exactly as the source attributes it.

"Recently Professor W. P. Dearborn published a study, "The Relative Standing of Pupils in the High School and in the University" (Wisconsin) in which he demonstrates that students in the university maintain to a marked degree the same relative ranking which they held in the high school."

• Correlations between individual gains in code practice and gains in the tests were generally small and positive, with the largest correlation for the code-translation test and a slight negative correlation for Test 5 suggesting interference between translating into and from code. — related
