Abstract
This experiment is provocative in that it purports to show that learning disabled boys may be developmentally slow rather than physically impaired or functionally fixated. The strength of the experiment, which researchers will particularly note, is the use of a well-researched experimental paradigm with which normal development has previously been established. Hence, the authors can utilize this remembering task to compare the development of learning disabled boys relative to those in previous studies who have not had learning handicaps. — G.M.S.Keywords
