Reaction times, using fine and gross motor movements of moderately and severely mentally handicapped adults to auditory and visual stimuli.
This experiment investigated the reaction times, when using fine and gross motor movements, of 24 moderately and severely mentally handicapped adults to light and sound stimuli. Unlike results of prior studies of normal and mildly mentally handicapped subjects, there were no significant differences among variables.
