Examines response styles to cognitive demands of the WISC exhibited by 7- to 10-year-old black children adopted by either white or black middle-class families. A significant difference in the average performance of the two groups of children was observed, favoring those adopted by white families. Mothers' helping behaviors differed by race. (Author/RH)
