Abstract	The study investigated the feasibility of M. Budoff and M. Friedman's (1964) learning potential paradigm as an assessment approach with 40 moderately and severely mentally retarded persons (aged 12 to 22 years). Ss were tested three times: initially, after one week, and after one month with a match-to-sample block design test. Twenty of the Ss were randomly assigned to a 30-minute training session which occurred on the day prior to the first retest. Pretrained scores were positively correlated with IQ. Improvement following training was not related to IQ, but was significantly related to two validity measures. Results suggested that assessment of learning potential by means of a learning task rather than IQ is more appropriate for retarded persons. (Author/DB)
