Of the estimated six million plus mentally retarded individuals in this country fully 75 to 85% are considered to be "func- tionally" retarded (Edgerton, 1984). That is, they are mildly retarded persons with no evident organic etiology or demonstrable brain pathology. Despite the relatively recent addition of adaptive behavior as a factor in the definition of retardation, 1.0. still remains as the essential diagnostic criterion (Edgerton, 1984: 26). An 1.0. below 70 indicates subaverage functioning. However, even such an "objective" measure as 1.0. is prob- lematic since a variety of data indicate quite clearly that cultural and social factors are at play in decisions about who is to be considered "retarded" (Edgerton, 1968; Kamin, 1974; Langness, 1982). Thus, it has been known for quite some time that there is a close relationship between socio-economic status and the prevalence of mild mental retardation: higher socio-economic group | | 出版日期 | Book 1986 | | 關(guān)鍵詞 | Pet; adaptation; anthropology; behavior; brain; development; etiology; pathology; population; society | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-009-3711-6 | | isbn_softcover | 978-90-277-2178-5 | | isbn_ebook | 978-94-009-3711-6 | | copyright | D.
