Groups of children with different IQ levels were trained to discriminate between stimulus cards containing two or more pictures. In subsequent testing the pictures were presented singly in order to determine how many pictures the child had responded to during discrimination training. The data showed that the lower the IQ, the fewer pictures the child responded to. We speculated that intellectually retarded functioning may be related to problems in overselective attention; the lower a person's IQ level, the less of the environment becomes functional in controlling his behavior.
对不同智商水平的儿童组进行训练，让他们区分包含两张或更多图片的刺激卡片。在随后的测试中，图片单独呈现，以确定儿童在辨别训练期间对多少张图片做出了反应。数据显示，智商越低，儿童做出反应的图片数量越少。我们推测，智力发育迟缓可能与过度选择性注意的问题有关；一个人的智商水平越低，环境在控制其行为方面发挥作用的程度就越小。
