Abstract
"1. A comparison was made on the acquisition of an object-quality discrimination learning set between a group of six normal and eight mentally retarded children attending a rural community school. 2. The results indicate normal children exhibit a tendency to make more correct responses than retarded children on 48 object-quality problems. 3. The retarded group exhibits a significantly greater percentage of stimulus-perseveration errors than does the normal group. 4. It is suggested that stimulus perseveration appears to be characteristic of the learning approach of retarded children and not characteristic of the normal group." From Psyc Abstracts 36:01:1JI19K.
