Haptic-Visual Shape Matching by Mentally Retarded Children: Exploratory Activity and Complexity Effects.

Davidson, Philip W.; And Others

American Journal of Mental Deficiency, v84 n5 p526-33 Mar 1980

The selection of haptic search styles also depended on these factors but, in addition, was influenced by the intellectual status of the children. (Author/DLS)
