Parental Beliefs, Parental Accuracy, and Children's Cognitive Performance: A Search for Causal Relations.
Miller, Scott A.; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v27 n2 p267-76 Mar 1991

Parental accuracy varied across tasks; was greater for children in general than for the parents' child; and was positively related to the child's performance. (BC)
