Automatic and Effortful Processing by Mentally Retarded and Nonretarded Persons.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Meador, Darlene M.; Ellis, Norman R. – American Journal of Mental Deficiency, 1987
Brain-injured (N=24), cultural-familially retarded (N=24), and nonretarded (N=28) adolescents and young adults were compared on a letter priming task requiring recognition of matched pairs. Response time in both retarded groups was considerably slower than in the nonretarded group, and effortful processing was also slower to develop. (JW)
