Abstrakt: The article examines the molar variability in the mentally defective. Mental defective and normal children were required to choose among four switches. It states that all choices accomplished the common end of extinguishing a light, and approximately equal effort was involved in the execution of each choice or response. It reports that in a series of successive responses, the mental defective manifested greater response dependency or less variability. The findings were placed within the framework of disinhibition theory.
