Sumario:	The article examines the effects of extraneous stimulation (ES) upon discrimination learning in normal and mentally retarded children in the U. S. There were six experiments dealing with the effects of ES on retardates each with varying effect. In experiment 1 to 4, children with mild retardation learned a two-choice discrimination learning problem with the addition of postresponse ES. There is a decreased in normal learning but tended to facilitate retardate learning. The rest of the experiments shows that retardates learned a series of six two-choice problem wherein postresponse ES found to facilitate learning.
