Cognitive research in mental retardation.

P H Brooks, C McCauley

    American Journal of Mental Deficiency
    |March 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Cognitive research in intellectual disability explores two paths: building cognitive models and direct intervention studies. Understanding cognitive systems may inform strategies for improving cognitive modifiability in individuals with intellectual disability.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Developmental Psychology
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Cognitive modifiability is a central question in intellectual disability research.
    • Research approaches are broadly categorized into cognitive modeling and intervention studies.
    • Ongoing research at the John F. Kennedy Center for Research on Education and Human Development provides examples.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To discuss the two main classes of cognitive research in intellectual disability: cognitive modeling and intervention.
    • To illustrate these research classes with examples from current studies.
    • To explore the relationship between understanding cognitive systems and enhancing cognitive modifiability.

    Main Methods:

    • Dichotomizing research into two classes for discussion: cognitive modeling and intervention.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Reviewing ongoing research projects at a specific research center.
  • Providing examples of empirical studies within each class.

    • Main Results:

    • Research on cognitive modeling aims to understand the underlying cognitive structures and processes in intellectual disability.
    • Intervention research focuses on identifying and addressing specific cognitive deficiencies.
    • Both approaches contribute to the broader understanding of cognitive modifiability.

    Conclusions:

    • A comprehensive understanding of cognitive systems is hypothesized to guide the development of effective cognitive modifiability strategies.
    • Intervention studies directly target cognitive deficiencies, aiming for alleviation.
    • The presented research exemplifies diverse strategies for investigating cognitive modifiability in intellectual disability.
