Indicates that children with Down syndrome in this age group do not differ in their persistence with challenging tasks suggesting that there may be no inherent motivational deficits associated with Down syndrome although there may be some difference in the processes underlying mastery behaviour in the two groups.Item type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds | |
