Abstract
Three stories were read to 19 mildly retarded young adolescents and to 19 nonretarded children of comparable mental age. The two groups did not differ consistently in the amount they recalled orally. Moreover, the two groups tended to recall the same parts of the stories, indicating that both groups are sensitive to the stories' structure.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
