摘要：The present study is on the gender differences in cognitive abilities (Mean scores) among school- going and nonschool going children of migrant families. Six slum localities were selected from the selected zone and a sample of 120 motherchild dyads including children between 6-8 years of age and mothers working as domestic servants, were purposively selected from each chosen locality through snowball technique. Children were approached to assess their cognitive abilities. Results revealed that school- going females were superior in verbal, quantitative and general cognitive index whereas males possessed higher measures in perceptual, memory and motor abilities. Non- school going males performed significantly better in all cognitive domains as compared to non- school going females except for verbal ability.
