Question 2
Recall that Robert Rosenthal and Lenore Jacobson (1968) informed grade-school teachers that some of their students (called bloomers) would show great academic improvement in the upcoming year.
Also recall that students labeled bloomers actually showed greater increases on IQ tests compared to students who were not labeled bloomers. These differences occurred because teachers
a. decided to devote their attention to the students with the most promise.
b. spent significantly more time interacting with bloomers.
c. challenged bloomers more and gave them more and better feedback.
d. distracted non-bloomers by providing them too much personal attention.
