Abstract
Elementary school aged children (N = 40) of alcoholic mothers when compared to similar children (N = 40) with nonalcoholic mothers scored significantly lower on several subtests of an academic achievement test. This result replicated and extended previous findings to a middle-class, well-educated population. Suggestions are made for future examination of critical antecedent causes and covariates within the context of both environmental and cognitive domains.Keywords
