The Effects of Level of Processing on Long-Term Recognition Memory in Retarded and Nonretarded Persons.

Woodley-Zanthos, Pamela

Intelligence, v17 n2 p205-21 Apr-Jun 1993

Two experiments compared recognition memory of 85 nonretarded and 85 mildly mentally retarded adolescents immediately and 1 week after presentation of word stimuli of semantic incidental, nonsemantic incidental, or intentional orienting instructions. Results suggest similar processing in mildly retarded and nonretarded persons, with longer encoding times for mildly retarded persons. (SLD)
