Eighteen brain-injured, mentally retarded children were matched with inherently retarded children of similar MA and IQ. When asked if various objects and events were living or dead, the brain-injured children more often gave animistic responses, reasoned from human situation, and attributed conscious activity to the objects. It is suggested that the distractibility and lack of self-control of brain-injured children interfere with their differentiation of persons and things.
