Briefly, it can be stated that the study has demonstrated that improvement in the intellectual development of some brain-injured mentally retarded children can be obtained by such intensive tutoring; that the response was greater in achieving verbal than non-verbal skills; that the younger children (8 to 10 years) showed significant improvement over the older children (10 to 12 years); and that increased power of attention was noteworthy. However, it was observed that on the cessation of tutoring there was a tendency for the child's development to regress to lower levels or become arrested, and also that the individual variation was impressive.
