Facilitation and Inhibition Effects in Visual Selective Attention Processes of Individuals with and without Mental Retardation.
Cha, Kyeong-Ho; Merrill, Edward C.
American Journal on Mental Retardation, v98 n5 p594-600 Mar 1993
Adolescents identified letters presented to them on the basis of color. Subjects (n=20) with mental retardation exhibited facilitation when the target was identical to the target on the preceding trial but did not exhibit inhibition when it had been a distractor on the preceding trial. Inefficient suppression processes may result in performance deficits. (Author/JDD)
