Then on 90 cases Raven coloured test was performed, and those scored between the range of 8-16 were participated in adjective comprehension test.
Results : Çomparision of the results indicate that at a=0.05 level, Down syndrome cases had lower ability of comparitive adjective comprehension, but in comprehension of simple and higher adjectives, no significant difference was observed between two groups.
