Fostering the object construct: large-scale intervention with handicapped infants.
Parents provided their developmentally delayed infants with sequential experiences intended to foster the development of the object construct. The participants were enrolled in a multidisciplinary early intervention program serving a wide spectrum of impaired infants from a large, rural geographic area. In comparison with infants who were not exposed to object-construct intervention, infants who received training performed moderately but significantly higher on Scale I of the Uzgiris-Hung Ordinal Scales of Psychological Development.

Comparison of two procedures for fostering the development of the object construct.
To determine the extent to which training can effect acquisition and retention of the object construct, we exposed 21 severely mentally retarded individuals to training or control conditions for about 10 minutes per day on 8 days. There were two training procedures: one that seemed typical of previous efforts to foster the object construct and a second that differed primarily in the size of the steps in the systematic chain of tasks required of the subjects. Both procedures affected acquisition significantly and equally but neither appeared to result in long-term retention.
