A Study of Twenty Slow Learners

Abstract

The assumption was made, on the findings of in vestigators in the fields of Psychology and Educa tion, that learning is significantly impeded not only because of retardation in intelligence, but also be cause of such factors as socioeconomic status, per sonality traits, physical defects and classroom ad justment. It was the belief of the present investi gator that one or more of these factors will be found in the learning patterns of slow learners. More specifically, this study was cone erned with the following question: What patterns of factors prevalent in slow learning children of several clas ses in one school can be discovered by an intensive study of such cases ?
