Effects of Sex and Label on Performance Ratings, Children's Test Scores, and Examiners' Verbal Behavior.

Burdg, Nancy B.; Graham, Steve

American Journal of Mental Deficiency, v88 n4 p422-27 Jan 1984

In a study involving 40 nonhandicapped preschoolers, the child's sex and the interaction between sex and label did not influence performance ratings, test scores, or the examiners' verbal behavior. The label "developmentally delayed," however had a negative impact on children's test scores and performance ratings. (Author/CL)
