Interpersonal Cognitive Problem-Solving among Children with Mild Retardation.

Healey, Kathryn N.; Masterpasqua, Frank

American Journal on Mental Retardation, v96 n4 p367-72 Jan 1992

This study compared the problem-solving skills of 73 children (ages 6-14) with mild mental retardation, who exhibited either adjusted classroom behavior or impulsive or inhibited behavior. Irrespective of age or intelligence quotient, adjusted children had a larger number of relevant solutions to problems and a higher ratio of aggressive solutions. (Author/JDD)
