Journal of Intellectual and Developmental Disability, v25 n3 p169-79 Sep 2000

A questionnaire on memory strategies, memory knowledge, and memory behavior was given to 31 teachers and 31 parents of Australian students with mental retardation. Teachers and parents held low expectations for the children's memory skills and these expectations were lower for memory behavior and memory strategies than for memory knowledge. (Author/CR)
