Oral-Linguistic and Nonoral-Visual Styles of Attending: Navajo and Caucasian Children Compared in an Urban Classroom and on an Urban Playground.
Guilmet, George M.
Human Organization, v40 n2 p145-50 Sum 1981
A comparison of frequency and directionality of 13 Navajo and 7 Caucasian preschool children's oral-linguistic and nonoral-visual behaviors in an urban classroom and playground revealed Navajo children to be far less oral-linguistic, considerably less oral-nonlinguistic, and strikingly more nonoral-visual than the Caucasian children.
