  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

   c. challenged bloomers more and gave them more and better feedback.
   d. distracted non-bloomers by providing them too much personal attention.
