| Abstract: | A conceptual replication of the well known Zeigarnik effect was attempted with persons who had organic brain dysfunction. Data from a sample of 56 mentally retarded persons showed a significant difference in the recall of uncompleted versus completed tasks, thus establishing the Zeigarnik effect in that population. |
