Cultural Differences, Nonverbal Regulation, and Classroom Interaction: Sociolinguistic Interference in American Indian Education.
Greenbaum, Paul E.; Greenbaum, Susan D.
Peabody Journal of Education, v61 n1 p16-33 Fall 1983

American Indian children exhibit such behaviors as less talking, low voice tones, and averted gaze during conservations. These behaviors seem to hinder students in the learning process. (DF)
