Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Types of Tests formerly used in Diagnosing Feeble-mindedness

These tests failed to meet the demands of practicability, for they meas- ured mental ability only indirectly and individual variations in per- formance proved excessive. For illustrations of the more recently developed tests consult case studies, pages 80-192. Left. Ataxiagraph, or Romberg test, designed to measure equilibrium. Experimental results indicate, in general, that normal subjects sway for- ward and back (eyes closed) and feeble-minded subjects sway side- ways. The test is frequently used in cases of nervous disorder. Right. Stereognosis, recognition, or failure to recognize (astereog- nosis), by the sense of touch alone. Mental defectives are rather strik- ingly inferior in this ability. The test is of some service with the lower

grades of mental defect but not with morons.
