Abstract
Retarded and nonretarded subjects heard temporally grouped and ungrouped sequences of digits at varying presentation rates in a serial recall task. The results showed that the facilitatory effect of temporal grouping was not as great for retarded subjects as for nonretarded subjects younger in mental age. Several possible explanations for the smaller effect of temporal grouping for the retarded subjects were discussed.
