| Sumario: | The article presents a study examining the influence of meaningfulness and non meaningfulness on the learning of syntactic word pairs with institutionalized mentally retarded and normal children.

Results showed no differences between normal children and retardates for the meaningful pairs. Also, normal children learned the meaningful pairs with lesser errors than retarded children. |
