Abstract
It is the aim ofthis paper to present some ideas for a new and practical approach to some of the problems of assessment and placing of mental defectives with respect to motor abilities. Attention will be drawn to some theoretical confusion about the relationship between mental and motor abilities in the mentally deficient population and finally some experiments illustrating the possibility of a new approach will be described.Keywords
