Warner-Rogers, Jody; Taylor, Alan; Taylor, Eric; Sandberg, Seija
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v33 n6 p520-36 Nov-Dec 2000
A study compared developmental functioning, social, and environmental backgrounds of 62 overly active children (age 7), 37 with inattentive behavior, and 46 controls. Children with inattentive behavior were more likely to have general cognitive delays, particularly in language development and were more likely to have fathers with low occupational status.
