| Abstract | This study examined the relationship between infants' early physical environment and their subsequent performance on the Stanford Binet Intelligence Scale. A total of 23 infants were observed twice a month in their own homes starting at 12 months of age and continuing through 24 months of age. These observations were subsequently coded into 30 item categories which were derived from the Purdue Home Stimulation Inventory and which reflected the physical environment. The Binet was administered at 31 months in the child's own home. Data were anlayzed by means of correlations between Binet performance and physical environment indices for each 3-month time block between 12 and 24 months. Results indicated that the amount of verbal interaction directed toward the child and the physical responsivity of the environment were consistently and positively related to Binet performance across all time blocks. Other physical environment items, including the presence of noise/confusion in the home, environmental predictability, variety of objects available to the child and a lack of physical restraints on exploration, were related to Binet performance only at specific age levels. Analyses by sex indicated that relationships for females appeared earlier then male relationships and that stimulus variability was uniquely related to female development while a responsive physical environment was uniquely related to male development.
