Toddlers' Language Development: Sex Differences within Social Risk.
Morisset, Colleen E.; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v31 n5 p851-65 Sep 1995
Used observations and home visits to examine sex differences in language ability of 54 disadvantaged children at risk for poor language outcomes. Found that language difficulties increased over time, boys were at a constant disadvantage to girls in language development, and sex difference in language ability appeared even when families had similar antecedent conditions and experiences.
