Conservation Acquisition, Maintenance, and Generalization by Mentally Retarded Children Using Equality-Rule Training.

Hendler, Marc; Weisberg, Paul

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v53 n3 p258-76 Jun 1992

Mildly retarded preadolescents received equality-rule training, or instruction in which identical or different numbers were applied to identical or different quantities. In tasks of conservation of number, length, weight, and volume, these preadolescents scored higher than did preadolescents who received other types of training. (BC)
