Many handicapped children have difficulties in acquiring the motor functions and abilities, which is one of the most important problems in educational practice for handicapped children. In the previous research we examined the development of motor abilities of mentally retarded children. And we made closer examination of children's motor development in relation to other functions such as the visual perception and the ability on imitative expression of others' movement. This study was attempted, first, to investigate the development of abilities of body-control by mentally retarded children, and second, to examine the relationship between the development of abilities of body-control and language development. This study was made to clarify the problems of motor development in mentally retarded children. 26 mentally retarded children at various developmental stages between the stage of 2 dimensional forming and that of 3 dimensional operation were administered the body-control tasks in order to trace their development of motor functions. The tasks consisted of physical locomotion test (containing 4 sub-tests) , arms-control test (containing 6 sub-tests) and finger-control test (containing 4 sub-tests). Moreover each subject was given the Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities in order to evaluate his psycholinguistic ages (PLA)・ The results were as follows: 1) The abilities of body-control advanced with the progress of developmental stages from the stage of 2 dimensional forming to that of 3 dimensional operation, and there was a definite developmental pattern at each part of body. 2) The correlation between the scores of body-control tasks and the PLA was significant. This result is to illustrate a closer relationship between the development of body-control and the language development.
