Two studies with children with mild mental retardation were conducted within the framework of the cognitive orientation theory, which describes how cognitive contents and processes guide behavior and thus enable behavior predictions and modifications. The studies were designed to test whether specific clusters of beliefs would predict imitation and persistence among individuals with mental retardation. Behavioral measures and questionnaires that assessed beliefs were administered. The belief scores were related significantly to the behaviors. Implications concerning motivation, the developmental-difference controversy, and individual differences were discussed.
在认知取向理论的框架内开展了两项针对轻度智力障碍儿童的研究，该理论描述了认知内容和过程如何指导行为，从而实现行为预测和调整。这些研究旨在测试特定的信念集群是否能预测智力障碍个体的模仿和坚持行为。研究采用了评估信念的行为测量方法和问卷。信念得分与行为显著相关。文中还讨论了有关动机、发展差异争议和个体差异的相关问题。
