General Slowing of Information-Processing by Persons with Mental Retardation.

Kail, Robert

American Journal on Mental Retardation, v97 n3 p333-41 Nov 1992

A review of 45 published studies yielded 518 pairs of response times (RTs) consisting of a mean RT for persons with mental retardation and the corresponding mean RT for persons without mental retardation. RTs of individuals with mental retardation increased linearly as a function of RTs for persons without mental retardation in corresponding conditions. (Author/JDD)
