Performance on the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children as Related to Salivary Testosterone in Children with Learning Disabilities: A Poststudy Analysis
Reanalysis of testosterone values published in 1993 gave a significantly higher mean and standard deviation for 15 learning-disabled children scoring P > V than those for 10 scoring V > P but not for a matched nonlearning-disabled group. Replication with larger samples would allow a rest of hemispheric integration.
