Berko's test of morphology was administered to two groups of educable mentally retarded public school boys who were matched on chronological age and mental age respectively to groups of normal public school boys. Results were analysed using teachers' responses as criteria for " correctness ". In general, neither group of EMRs performed as well as the normal boys. Criticisms of the test on the basis of the obtained results as well as suggestions for modifications and further research needs are presented.
