Object Mastery Motivation of Children with Down Syndrome.
Ruskin, Ellen M.; And Others
American Journal on Mental Retardation, v98 n4 p499-509 Jan 1994
Comparison of 40 children with Down's syndrome and typically developing children (matched for mental age) found that the children with Down's syndrome appeared less engaged in a task, as indicated by shorter sequences of goal directed behavior and higher rates of toy rejection. They also displayed less causality pleasure with object exploration than the comparison group. (Author/DB)
