Calhoun, Mary Lynne; Calhoun, Lawrence G.
Education and Training in Mental Retardation, v28 n2 p143-48 Jun 1993
Observers (n=94) of videotapes of a young woman with mental retardation engaging in either an age-appropriate leisure activity or an activity designed for much younger persons found that observers associated age-appropriate activities with higher ratings of estimated IQ and reading level. Findings support the development of age-appropriate and functional curricula for this population. (DB)
