Abstract

This study investigated the feasibility of using measures of cognitive tempo with 66 institutionalized moderately-severely retarded adolescents and adults in the field settings of three Activity Centres--one rural and two urban. The Matching Familiar Figures Test and the Porteus Maze Tests could, with characteristic modifications, be administered to this type of population, the typical response being slow and error-prone. Either one or both could contribute usefully to the prediction of work performance in the groups concerned, but would have little to offer over and above conventional individual tests of general intelligence.
