EVIDENCE FOR INCREASED MENTAL CAPACITY WITH AGE IN DOWN'S SYNDROME
In a previous study, the authors reported that Down's Syndrome children were deficient in short-term memory for colour compared with severely subnormal controls. The present study provides evidence that two-thirds of such children aged fifteen to seventeen years could perform tasks which no six-to-eight-year-old could, which suggests they might benefit from educational experiences which were of no value at a younger age.
