Intelligence as a Correlate of Children's Problem Solving.
Ferretti, Ralph P.; Butterfield, Earl C. – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 1989
The study compared the problem solving strategies of intellectually gifted (N=133), average (N=102) and mentally retarded (N=51) children on two-dimensional integration problems. Gifted children tended to integrate dimensional information by addition, average children used lexicographic strategies, and retarded children relied on a single…

A Follow-Up Developmental Study of Hypothesis Behavior Among Mentally Retarded and Nonretarded Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Weisz, John R. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1977
To clarify the roles of IQ and mental age (MA) in hypotheses behavior, MA-matched subjects at three levels of IQ and three levels of MA received blank trial discrimination learning problems using procedures designed to discourage position-oriented responding. (Author/BD)

STUDIES OF THE EFFECTS OF SYSTEMATIC VARIATION OF CERTAIN CONDITIONS RELATED TO LEARNING. III. TASK CONDITIONS.
BLAKE, KATHRYN A.; AND OTHERS – 1964
A SERIES OF RESEARCH PROGRAMS CONCERNED WITH THE EFFECTS OF SYSTEMATIC VARIATIONS OF CERTAIN CONDITIONS RELATED TO LEARNING HAS BEEN CONDUCTED. PROJECTS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED INCLUDED TWO INVESTIGATIONS OF REINFORCEMENT AND SUBJECT VARIABLES AND ONE ON THE STUDY OF PRACTICE AND SUBJECT VARIABLES. THE NATURE OF THE OVERALL PROGRAM WAS DISCUSSED IN…

Transfer of Compounds and Components in the Discriminative Learning of Retardates
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Barnes, Timothy – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1978
The discriminative learning and transfer of compound and component problems were assessed in retarded subjects at two levels of intelligence. (Author/SB)

Cognitive Style as a Function of Ability.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
McCallum, R. Steve – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1981
This study explored the influence of intelligence on the direction of conjugate lateral eye movements during problem solving. The gifted, average, and retarded 13-year-olds tested did not differ. Thus, the premise that intelligence differences influence problem-solving style (as indicated by conjugate lateral eye movements) was not supported.…

Differences in Intelligence and Automatic Memory Processes.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ellis, Norman R.; And Others – Intelligence, 1985
Retarded and nonretarded persons were compared on a task designed to preclude the use of cognitive strategies. Results suggest the possible importance of automatic processing deficiencies and invite a reconsideration of the idea that the relationship between intelligence and memory is due entirely to effortful processes.

Breakdowns in Flexible Use of Information: Intelligence-Related Differences in Transfer Following Equivalent Learning Performance.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Campione, Joseph C.; And Others – Intelligence, 1985
Groups of retarded and nonretarded children were investigated as they learned three rules underlying problems adapted from the Raven Progressive Matrices Test: rotation, imposition, and subtraction. Results were seen as consistent with theories that emphasize transfer flexibility as one potential source of individual and comparative differences in…
