ANOXIC DAMAGED CHILDREN 413
festing such concern suggests that anoxic damaged children significantly more frequently than normal Ss manifest sensivity to imbalance, forecast the disintegration of a house, and interchange the legs of the Manikin.
The content of the replies from the clinical sample suggests that the concern for equilibrium occurs in a diversity of topics but is most commonly manifest in remarks about unsupported objects and people. The imbalance is ascribed more frequently to human rather than physical causes and is believed to be more apt to portend human discomfort than material disequilibrium. The data imply that the patients not only do not expect improvement but are, in fact, more apt to give responses suggesting inactivity rather than activity. Methodological problems of the current and future research are discussed.
