Research on teacher expectancies suggests that high expectations from teachers may lead to a modest-to-significant increase in student performance. Therefore, it is more likely that Vish will demonstrate a modest-to-significant increase in his IQ score. The other options are also likely as teacher expectations can influence student behavior, but they are not least likely.
