Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects on mental growth of a radical shift in institutional environment to one providing superior stimulation, introduced into the lives of mentally retarded children of early preschool ages. These children were placed singly or in some cases by twos on wards of brighter girls in an institution for feeble-minded children. Preliminary observation had given some indication that such an environment was mentally stimulating for children two to three years of age.
