Computational Rates of Educable Mentally Retarded Adolescents with and without Calculators in Comparison to Normals.

Horton, Steven

Education and Training of the Mentally Retarded, v20 n1 p14-24 Mar 1985

A calculator intervention produced a marked increase in correct computational performance of eight educable mentally retarded adolescents over baseline for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems. Use of calculators enabled Ss to complete relatively complex arithmetic problems with greater accuracy than nonhandicapped Ss without computers. (CL)
