Information Producing Responses in Normal and Retarded Children

Cohen, Mark E.; Heller, Tamar

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 20, 2, 296-306, Oct 75

On discrimination learning trials which allowed subjects to press an information key when in doubt, retarded children made significantly more presses than control groups. Results confirmed the hypothesis that retarded children would be more outerdirected than normal children in a situation in which distractibility could not play a role. (Author/GO)
