Sensorimotor period and adaptive behavior development of severely and profoundly mentally retarded children
Abstract:
The relationship of the Uzgiris and Hunt Scales of Sensorimotor Development with six of the AAMD Adaptive Behavior Scale (ABS) domains and the Receptive-Expressive Emergent Language (REEL) Scale was investigated. One significant canonical root was found. Three independent variables (vocal imitation, object permanence, and gestural imitation) and six dependent variables (ABS domains Language, Socialization, Independent Functioning, and Self-Direction and REEL-Receptive and REEL-Expressive) loaded highly on the canonical root. Regression was used to analyze these variables further. The results were interpreted as generally consistent with prior theory and research, although there were some difficult interpretations and contradictions of previous research.
