Abstract
Because the problems of juvenile retardation are so important, it is gratifying that so many psychologists are interested in describing and interpreting such events in preparation for modifying them.
In this connection attention is directed to the field details of retardation which name a particular form of maladaptation included in the in-terbehavioral continuum. To specify the origin and conditions of the unsatisfactory behavior may be useful in practice and in a general understanding of individual and cultural psychology.
