Performance of Young Nonretarded Children and Children with Down's Syndrome on Piagetian Infant Search Tasks.
Wishart, Jennifer G.
American Journal of Mental Deficiency, v92 n2 p169-77 Sep 1987
Twelve children with Down's syndrome (ages 3-5 years) were tested six times over 2.5 months on three Piagetian infant search tasks. Results suggested that cognitive ability of this population may be poorly measured by single-session testing and that caution is necessary when using tests designed for and validated on younger, nonretarded subjects.
