Abstract: A review of the literature revealed a superiority of spaced trial sequencing over massed trial sequencing when teaching motor and cognitive skills to normal and retarded subjects. The research in this paper attempted to substantiate and generalize these findings to the severely mentally retarded by investigating trial sequencing and relating its use to the number of trials required to reach acquisition when learning functional sight words.
