Abstract
An experiment was carried out to investigate whether multiply handicapped children, developmentally below 6 months, were able to use information in their environment to discriminate between different contingencies. In this experiment a multielement design was used. Of the 4 participants investigated, all showed clear signs of discrimination learning whilst using the specially designed electromechanical car in which they could sit and travel on a short journey. The effects of this type of technology on those who represent the lowest level of adaptive functioning found and those directly involved in their care is discussed.
