The video segment, *Gender Development: Social Influences *has a section
about the "Baby X Study."

It's part of The Brain series.  You can view it here:

It's kind of old (1997), and the statements are very specific and seem
outdated...we'd hardly say now, "So we DO treat boys and girls differently."
 Still, though it's not exactly what you were looking for, Marte, it can at
least show your students the classic study.
