[The motives for the participation in work processes of severely mentally retarded persons at a psychoneurology boarding house].

Population studied consisted of 727 oligophrenic patients aged 20 to 65 at the stages of pronounced debility and imbecility living in a special boarding-house. The degree of intellectual deficit proved to determine the patients' motives of participation in the labor activities: as the deficit increased, the part of socially mature motives diminished. The overall quantity of actual motives diminished with ageing. These motives completely disappear in imbeciles by 45. In pronounced debility the age-related increase in a part of motives caused by labor attractiveness was observed, in light imbecility the passive submissiveness increased.

Absence of detrimental changes of cognitive parameters during fasting.

During the first 10 d of a total fast the changes in a series of cognitive parameters: short-term memory, long-term memory, speed of information processing, vigilance, and mental control were tested in 14 obese inpatients and compared with a control group. Ten days of fasting induced no detrimental changes. An improvement in the subtest 'Repetition of digits' was interpreted as improved motivation as a consequence of successful weight reduction. In contrast to the experience of normal weight people during famine periods, obese patients seem to tolerate short-term fasting periods without negative intellectual effects.
