    The effect of the DUSO guidance program on the intelligence and social behaviour of institutionalised mentally retarded children
    (1975) Bagg, Wendy Ann; Dowdall, Terence
    This study was designed to test the effects of the DUSO Guidance Program on institutionalised mentally retarded children. It was hypothesised that as a result of the social stimulation received from this enrichment program, the mental age (MA) and IQ of the children would increase and their social behaviour improve. The background to this study was discussed and involved the examination of relevant concepts in the fields of mental retardation, institutionalisation, general intelligence, social learning theory, and enrichment programs.
