The influence of perceptual memory on the perception of apparent movement was found to be the same for educable-retarded children and normals of the same MA following a short retention interval. However, in order for the memory effects to endure 24 hr., the EMRs needed much more training than did normals. The results are discussed with respect to those reported in an earlier paper (Raskin, 1969b) and interpreted in terms of association perceptual learning.
