It attempts to resolve part of the complex of influences on early intellectual development in those born into seriously disadvantaged environments that could account for the increased risk for certain children to be identified as mentally retarded. Development of 17 subjects from infancy through age 15 is charted in terms of intellectual and related measurements, alongside 18 controls. Chapters include "Introduction to the Problem"; "The Course of Early Intellectual Development"; "Design and. Method"; "Assessment of Intellectual Development"; "Learning and Performance"; "Assessment of Language Development"; "Mother-Child Interaction"; "Follow-up Assessment of Development"; "Analysis of the Children's Performance in School"; "Family Risk and Child's Intellectual Development"; "The Chilaren and Their Families"; and an epilogue discussing the role of maternal mediation and methodological factors.(PB) *********************************************************************** Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document.

    An historical review of educational trends and patterns for the educable mentally retarded child from 1946 to 1973 by Robert Owen Cook A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF EDUCATION Montana State University © Copyright by Robert Owen Cook (1973) Abstract: This study reports the trends and patterns in the education to educable mentally retarded children (EMR) since 1946 in the United States. An extensive early historical review of the broad field of the mentally retarded is discussed in Chapter III. This early historical investigation details the treatment of the mentally retarded in four different epochs of time: The Ancient Pre-Christian Periods, The Early Christian Period, The Medeival Period, and the Scientific or Modem Period. The comprehensive historical review in Chapter I and II is offered in order that contemporary trends and patterns of education for the EMR since 1946 can be understood in perspective of history. The growth and educational influence of public institutions for the mentally retarded in the United States is examined relative to its early role in the education of EMR in this study. This era is discussed from the point of view of institutional successes and weaknesses. The eugenics movement and moral deviancy issues are also treated with respect to their effect on the education of the mentally retarded in the pre-World War II era of institutionalization. Chapters IV, V, VI, and VII review trends and patterns in the education of EMR from 1946 to 1973 in some detail. Discussed as major topics of investigation in these chapters are teacher certification developments, teacher training patterns, and teacher competency studies all relating to the teacher and teacher candidate in the field of EMR.

Old Man. Alack, sir, he is mad. Gloucester. ’Tis the time’s plague when madmen lead the blind. W. Shakespeare King Lear-Act IV, Scene 1 Introduction In 1962 a little-known chemist, Nikolai Fedyakin, working in a small techno­ logical institute in an isolated region of Russia, produced from ordinary water a fluid that had some extraordinary properties (my discussion of this incident is drawn from Franks’s [1981] fascinating book, Poly water). While studying liquids sealed in very narrow glass capillaries, Fedyakin discovered that after a few days a small amount of liquid separated from the rest of the liquid, and over a period of about a month this secondary column of liquid grew to about 1.5 mm in length.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
