Mentally Retarded Children

This study attempts to evaluate the performance of 15 mentally retarded children on the TMI-Grolier Time Telling Program presented on a teaching machine. The experimental design was pretest, training, posttest. Results indicated an increase in gain scores which ranged from two to 11 on the posttest for all subjects. Little relationship was evident between the gain scores on time telling and achievement or IQ. The findings suggested that mentally retarded subjects can profit from a teaching machine program written for normal children. The primary advantage seemed to be in rapid determination of problems involved in learning the task. Perceptual ability may be a factor in successful performance of subjects.

Mentally Retarded Children

Recent studies of mentally retarded children have found substantially higher rates of color blindness than are usually reported for the general population. In 2 of these studies, sex differences in color blindness, invariably found in intellectually normal children, do not appear. Reanalysis of data from one of the studies of retarded children suggests the possibility that the high rates arise from the difficulty in comprehending the test and following the directions rather than from faulty color vision. However, even if the number of color blind retarded children is actually lower than these studies show, the need for research on this topic seems apparent. Using color dependent instructional materials with color blind, mentally retarded children may be detrimental.

Evaluation Of Learning

This article discusses how the learning of Islamic Religious Education for mentally retarded children in Extraordinary Schools (SLB). Extraordinary Schools (SLB) are special schools for school-age children who have "special needs". Children with intellectual disabilities have IQs below the average normal child in general, thus causing their intellectual and intellectual functions disrupted which causes other problems that arise during their development. Islamic education is not only given to normal children, but also to children who have disabilities or mental disorders. This study uses qualitative research and uses a phenomenological approach. Data collection methods are observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of this study state that the implementation of Islamic Religious Education learning for mentally retarded children in SLB Bhakti Pemuda City of Kediri emphasizes memorization and practice directly with concrete or tangible objects, and is evaluated in three domains, namely cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. However, the evaluation of learning in SLB Bhakti Pemuda Kota Kediri is more measured from the realm of affective (attitude and values) and psychomotor (skills or skills).

This study compared the comprehension of 20 idioms of normal children with children exhibiting mild mental retardation. Sixty-six children comprised three groups: normal 9-year-olds, 9-year-old children with mild mental retardation, and younger normal children matched with the mentally retarded children by receptive vocabulary age. The assessment included both literal and idiomatic contexts with accompanying picture stimuli. The three groups demonstrated high accuracy with the literal contexts. On the idiomatic contexts, the normal children comprehended significantly more idioms than the children with mental retardation, and the mentally retarded children performed significantly better than the younger normal children.

To check the source of feeling stress questionnaire stress (QRS) was used and analysis of data by independent t tests May Pearson.ResultsResults showed that parental stress in two groups of mentally retarded children and parents have significantly different normal and feeling stress parents of mentally retarded children than parents were normal. Between mothers and fathers of mentally retarded children in terms of Nshdv significant difference in stress levels stress parents of mentally retarded children were the same.the child's gender had no impact on parent stress levels, but between the retarded child's age and parental stress there was a significant relationship, whatever the case retarded child's age increased parental stress will increase. Similarly, parental education and children backward stress there was no significant difference whatever the parents are more educated than parents with lower education have less stress.DiscussionThe results show parents of mentally retarded children than normal children, parents significantly more stress they endure.

Acuity Test

To evaluate the reliability and the validity of Landolt Rings and of the Frisby Test as measures of visual acuity and stereoacuity, respectively, the visual acuity of 30 mentally retarded children was measured with Landolt Rings shown as games, the Sjogren Test, the Dot Visual Acuity Test and stereoacuity with the Frisby Test. Subjects were tested 3 times over a period of 3 weeks to measure the reliability of the tests. No significant difference was observed among these tests. The validity of the Landolt Rings was measured by a correlation of .55 for the highest logMAR values of the Sjogren Test with the highest logMAR values of the Landolt Rings. Visual acuity was systematically lower on the Dot Visual Acuity Test. The Frisby Test was not reliable among a group of 16 normal children who improved systematically over 3 weeks.

Educable Mentally Retarded

To study the acquisition of English morphology by 30 educable mentally retarded children and 30 normal children, a list of lexicon words was developed which paralleled phonologically and morphologically the nonsense words used by Berko. Results indicate that significant quantitative differences existed favoring the normal children in all the measures of morphology, measured by lexicon words and nonsense words. Nevertheless, the order of acquisition of morphology by the retarded children, particularly in respect to nonsense words, paralleled that of the normal children. With the normal and retarded children an undefined time lag existed between the production of correct English morphological inflection forms with familiar words and the generalization of these forms to unfamiliar words, indicating knowledge of a morphological rule. The retarded children demonstrated greater inability than the normal children studied in generalization from familiar to unfamiliar words.

Neuroticism Scale

This study was designed to assess the personality characteristics and psychological problems of parents of mentally retarded children. Seventy-six parents, whose mean age was 42.12 yr with SD 10.15. 38 of mentally retarded and 38 of normal children, were investigated. A Bengali version of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire was used to measure the psychoticism, neuroticism and extraversion-introversion responses of the parents. Results showed that parents of mentally retarded children had significantly higher scores only on the neuroticism scale, indicating that they were more emotionally unstable than the parents of normal children. The findings were discussed in terms of certain constraining factors associated with having a mentally retarded child. Counseling programmes for these parents should take into account these factors.
