This book was released on 1989 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of three levels of contextual interference on the acquisition and retention of a sequential motor skill, by moderately mentally retarded and nonretarded subjects. The subjects were functioning between an eight and twelve year level. The dependent measures included; Reaction Time (RT), Total Response Time (TRT), and error scores. The experimental task required subjects (N = 36 moderately mentally retarded, and N = 36 nonretarded subjects), to initiate and complete the motor pattern by running as quickly as possible through the three mat pattern. A 2 (IQ) X 3 (Practice Condition) X 3 (Task) repeated measures design was used to analyze the RT and TRT dependent measures during acquisition and retention. A Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) was initially employed. Significant effects were further analyzed through Univariate Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) procedures. An alpha level of 0.10 was used in this study. In addition to RT and TRT measures, anticipation errors and mat errors were recorded. A significant main effect for RT and TRT during acquisition was found between intelligence groups. There were no significant differences in RT between the intelligence groups during retention. Significant differences between intelligence groups were found with respect to TRT during retention. There were no statistically significant differences between the practice conditions with respect to RT and TRT. Empirical evidence supported the presence of task differences. Throughout the study, the nonretarded subjects produced fewer anticipation errors and fewer mat errors than moderately mentally retarded subjects. The total frequency of mat errors increased for both the mentally retarded and nonretarded groups, from acquisition to retention. It was concluded that there were no differences with respect to reaction time or total response time, as a function of contextual practice condition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines effectiveness of preschool and family intervention in prevention of cultural-familial retardation. It attempts to resolve part of the complex of influences on early intellectual development in those born into seriously disadvantaged environments that could account for the increased risk for certain children to be identified as mentally retarded. Development of 17 subjects from infancy through age 15 is charted in terms of intellectual and related measurements, alongside 18 controls. Chapters include "Introduction to the Problem"; "The Course of Early Intellectual Development"; "Design and Method"; "Assessment of Intellectual Development"; "Learning and Performance"; "Assessment of Language Development"; "Mother-Child Interaction"; "Follow-up Assessment of Development"; "Analysis of the Children's Performance in School"; "Family Risk and Child's Intellectual Development"; "The Children and Their Families"; and an epilogue discussing the role of maternal mediation and methodological factors.
