anyone remember gender perception?

[Professor Annette Karmiloff-Smith]

>>The  experiment showed two groups of parents a video of a baby moving in
>>the cot. For one group the video showed the baby dressed in
>>pink pyjamas.  The other group saw the identical video but the colour
>>of the pyjamas was blue.  Each group was asked to describe the
>>baby's actions.
>>The pink group talked of a future ballerina, how delicate etc. and
>>the blue group
>>for identical actions talked of a footballer, tough etc.

Does anyone recall the study?  Ref please.
Many thanks
Annette
