Cole, David A.; And Others
American Journal of Mental Deficiency, v92 n2 p194-202 Sep 1987
Effects of age differences in dyadic relationships where one child was severely mentally retarded and the other nonretarded were investigated with 53 dyads (retarded subjects 4-13 years old). Results suggested relationships were most balanced, symmetrical, fun, and engaging when partners were closer in chronological age. (Author/DB)
