title: The Learning of Difficult Visual Discriminations by the Moderately and Severely Retarded.
abstract: A procedure to effectively and efficiently train moderately and severely retarded individuals to make fine visual discriminations is described. Results suggest that expectancies for such individuals are in need of examination. Implications for sheltered workshops, work activity centers and classrooms are discussed.
