Performance of Retarded Adolescents and Nonretarded Children on One- and Two-Bit Logical Problems
Spitz, Herman H.; Borys, Suzanne V.
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 23, 3, 415-429, Jun 77
Retarded and borderline intelligence adolescents (MA 8-12 years) and nonretarded children (MA 6-12 years) were given logical problem solving tasks. Results showed a profound deficiency in low IQ individuals on certain tasks requiring foresight and logic; MA markedly overestimates the performance of these individuals relative to the performance of nonretarded individuals.
