Validation of a Classroom Observation Code for Hyperactive Children

Abikoff, Howard; And Others

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 45, 5, 772-782, Oct 77

There was greater within-subject variability in the hyperactive group. Motor activity for both groups was significantly inversely related to age. (Author)
