Abstract: Two judges from a professional vocational rehabilitation staff ranked 33 retarded clients (mean CA 19 yrs 7 mo; mean IQ 64) from 1 to 33 according to their activity levels. Judges' ratings of activity levels were compared with Ss' choice of music therapy. A 1-way ANOVA and a Spearman rank-order correlation revealed a significant relationship between activity level and Ss' choice of music therapy activities. (3 ref)
