In recent years much interest has been expressed about the possibilities of teaching thinking skills to special education populations. Instrumental Enrichment (IE) is a programme designed to achieve significant modification in cognitive abilities in retarded adolescents (Feuerstein, Rand, Hoffman & Miller, 1980).
