The Learning of Difficult Visual Discriminations by the Moderately and Severely Retarded
Gold, Marc W.; Barclay, Craig R.
Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, v53 n6 p414-417 Dec 2015
A procedure to effectively and efficiently train moderately and severely retarded individuals to make fine visual discriminations is described. Results suggest that expectancies for such individuals are in need of examination. Implications for sheltered workshops, work activity centers and classrooms are discussed.
