A large body of literature has investigated how characteristics of...

Creator:: Duncan, Robert J.
Abstract:: Empirical studies and theory have identified many early predictors of children's academic achievement and externalizing problems. Moreover, research shows that children's early cognitive abilities and behavioral problems are strong predictors of later academic achievement and externalizing problems.
