Induction of Logic Structures in the Mentally Retarded: An Assessment and Intervention Instrument

  • Chapter
Interactive Assessment

Part of the book series: Disorders of Human Learning, Behavior, and Communication ((HUMAN LEARNING))

Abstract

The notions of “training the intellect,” and consequently of programs of cognitive education, depend to a large degree on the ability of psychologists and educators to assess or diagnose specific problems in cognitive development, to specify the conditions under which development, especially in those “deficient” processes, can be accelerated, and to provide the tools for both assessment and intervention.
