Relationship of Perceived Stimulus Structure and Intelligence: Further Tests of a Separability Hypothesis.

Burns, Barbara

American Journal of Mental Deficiency, v91 n2 p196-200 Sep 1986

Results of the study with 24 mildly or moderately retarded subjects (ages 11-55 years) indicates that a separability hypothesis of perceptual development can be extended to retarded populations. Representation as wholistic objects dominated among moderately retarded subjects, and with increasing intelligence, representation of objects as component separable dimensions emerged. (Author/DB)
