Abstract
The Stroop Test was administered to 102 low‐grade retardates and 208 normal school children in age‐groups of 10 to 15 years in order to bring out developmental differences. The retardates could name colours faster than reading words, and showed relatively less interference than normals in naming the colours of words. In these they functioned like the normal children at Grade 1 level. The reading speed and interference measures appeared to reflect stable individual differences which might be related to those in learning.Keywords
