Abstract Perceptual Information for Age Level: A Risk Factor for Maltreatment?
McCabe, Viki
Child Development, v55 n1 p267-76 Feb 1984
Two independent and geographically disparate samples showed that physically abused three- to six-year-old children have cranial facial proportions that are atypically older than their nonabused agemates. Two independent photographic samples corroborated this finding: one involved photos of two- to seven-year-olds and the other investigated 12- to 15- year-olds. (Author/RH)
