"Motivational Correlates of Emotional Intelligence of Secondary Teacher Trainees "

The present study attempts to show the difference in preference and use of toys, play material and/or game equipments in children with mental retardation. This varies according to child variables (such as, age, gender, presence/absence of problem behaviours, associated conditions and severity of mental retardation), family variables (such as, type of family, socio economic status, maternal age and education) respectively.It was studied on a sample of 140 children with mild and moderate mental retardation between chronological ages of 6-18 years and mental ages of 3-12 years. The sample included 71 boys and 69 girls. The results indicate that the toy preferences of children with mental retardation appear to be restricted to very few items, such as, ball, cycle, doll, wooden blocks, colour pencils, toy car, play ring, marbles, etc.
