Acquisition of Basic Concepts by Mentally Retarded and Nonretarded Children through Video-Presented, Stimulus Conversion Procedures.
Weinheimer, Bruce; Weisberg, Paul
Journal of Special Education Technology, v9 n1 p45-53 Fall 1987
Two concepts were taught to mentally retarded and nonretarded third graders (n=88). Both groups learned faster when computer displays continuously converted the concepts either into concept examples or concept nonexamples, compared to procedures where examples were not converted. Mentally retarded students benefited more from the conversion procedures than the nonretarded. (Author/JDD)
