Where Does Knowledge Come From? Specific Associations between Print Exposure and Information Acquisition.
Stanovich, Keith E.; Cunningham, Anne E.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v85 n2 p211-29 Jun 1993

Results with 268 undergraduates (90 males and 178 females) suggest that exposure is a significant contributor to knowledge differences. (SLD)
