IDENTIFYING WAYS OF DISTINGUISHING "CHOICE ACTIVITY" FROM "CLOSURE MOVEMENTS" WHEN ADMINISTERING PICTORIAL SOCIOMETRIC TECHNIQUES (PST) TO THE MENTALLY RETARDED

Abstract

In a previous study (Hart, et al., 1973) this author and his colleagues investigated the problems encountered by professionals interested in using sociometric techniques with the retarded and found that the best approach to reducing the impact of these difficulties was the use of the pictorial sociometric technique in conjunction with the selective use of videotape .
