Speed of Information-Processing and Structural Limitations by Mentally Retarded and Dual-Diagnosed Retarded-Schizophrenic Persons.

Saccuzzo, Dennis P.; Michael, Brad

American Journal of Mental Deficiency, v89 n2 p187-94 Sep 1984

Three experiments were conducted in an investigation of information-processing capabilities of mentally retarded adults, nonretarded children (mental age control), and nonretarded adults (chronological age control). Findings support the theory of a structural defect in mentally retarded persons that results in slow information processing. (Author/CL)
