Coding, Strategic Behavior, and Language Performance of Institutionalized Mentally Retarded Young Adults.

Ashman, A. F.

American Journal of Mental Deficiency, v86 n6 p627-36 May 1982

An information processing model was used to examine the coding and language functions of 88 institutionalized, moderately, and severely retarded persons. Contextual grammatical structures were found to relate to sequential processing, whereas comprehension and expression of relational thought was related to both sequential processing and simultaneous processing.
