TY - JOUR PY - 1990// TI - Sex differences in neuropsychological performance for children with reading deficits JO - International journal of neuroscience A1 - Batchelor, E. S. A1 - Dean, R. S. SP - 95 EP - 102 VL - 50 IS - 1-2 N2 - This study examined sex differences in neuropsychological functioning for a large sample of public school children with reading deficits. Specifically, scores on the Weschsler Intelligence Scale for Children--Revised (Wechsler, 1974), the Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychological Battery for older children (Reitan, 1969) and the Wide Range Achievement Test (Jastak and Jastak, 1978) were compared for males and females in a multivariate fashion. Significant sex differences were found in motor, verbal and nonverbal functioning. Females seemed to be more aberrant than males in expected neuropsychological performance.
