The Concept of Death in Preoperational Retarded Children.
Sternlicht, Manny
Journal of Genetic Psychology, v137 n2 p157-64 Dec 1980
Fourteen preoperational retarded boys and girls were interviewed for their concepts of death. Subjects did not have realistic concepts of when they would die, or of the permanence of death, but did have knowledge of how things die. Types of replies subjects made were significantly related to subjects' cognitive level. (Author/RH)
