Effect of Peer Interaction on the Problem-Solving Behavior of Mentally Retarded Youths.

摘要: Educable mentally retarded young adults were given a one-bit logic problem (Experiment 1) or test of conservation 2) and classified as either low high performers. In second session the performers paired with performers, dyads required to agree on solution problems presented. A control group was simply tested individually in session. One month later all retested same an alternate form test. No significant differences observed Experiment 1. 2, scores subjects who participated peer interaction higher than those controls posttest; however, based responses lie item, we concluded that experimental had learned respond "same" parrot verbal statement. such mimicking possible problem. Results suggest is not particularly effective method for enhancing problem-solving ability individuals.
