This study relates excitatory and inhibitory personality variables of a heterogeneous group of severely retarded children to performance on a discrete trial, successive go-no-go intradimensional discrimination learning problem, which was followed by stimulus generalization tests on a color hue continuum and extinction trials. (GO)

Six experiments examined the problem-solving behavior of normal and mentally retarded (MR) children with a two-choice discrimination learning situation: the effects of stimulus similarity upon types of solutions utilized by MR children; the role of redundant cues in the discrimination learning of MR subjects with differing mental ages; the…

Written from a developmental viewpoint, this book for parents and teachers presents both a theoretical orientation and perceptual motor activities for training children with learning disabilities, both the brain injured and the retarded. The theoretical basis for training generalized motor responses is considered in terms of motor perceptual…
