Prevalence of maladaptive behavior in retarded children as a function of IQ and age

H Ando et al. J Abnorm Child Psychol. 1978 Sep.

Abstract

One hundred and twenty-eight mentally retarded children, ages 6 to 14, from a special school were assessed by teachers in terms of nine maladaptive behaviors. The results indicated that the prevalence of some maladaptive behaviors changed as a function of IQ and age, and that there were splits of such changes as IQ-dependent and as age-dependent by maladaptive behavior.
