An anecdote: Our kid is about to be moved to a program that is for kids who have emotional and behavioral issues. He would likely be considered high-IQ (tests in the 99% percentile, reads at level several grades above their own, etc), but has basically been unable to focus and learn in a normal classroom setting. Last year, when he was 6, he had some issues as well, but was mostly able to stay in the classroom. This year, at age 7, the issues skyrocketed. I'd be very interested in a study like this conducted on 7-8 year olds, because it wouldn't surprise me if they found some very different results. A 5 year old kid is so much different than a 7 year old.
