Issues in the Developmental Approach to Mental Retardation is one of the first books exclusively devoted to applying the theories, findings and approaches used in work with nonretarded children to several types of retarded individuals. It defines the developmental approach and explores theoretical issues as they relate to retarded populations. Problems involving similar sequences of development, cross-domain relations, the environment, and motivation are all discussed, as is the importance of separating the various etiological groups for research and intervention purposes. This book will be of interest to professionals in the fields of psychology, mental retardation and atypical development. It is also suitable for upper-level undergraduate and graduate-level courses in mental retardation, developmental psychology and developmental disabilities.

الصفحة 51 - Developmental psychology postulates one regulative principle of development; it is an orthogenetic principle which states that wherever development occurs it proceeds from a state of relative globality and lack of differentiation to a state of increasing differentiation, articulation, and hierarchic integration.
الصفحة 105 - ... by society. They are hierarchically related in their evolution and in their current influence on the child. The experience of the developing child is partially determined by the beliefs, values, and personality of the parents; partially by the family's interaction patterns and transgenerational history; and partially by the socialization beliefs, controls, and supports of the culture.
الصفحة 117 - MA levels, approximately 7, 9, and 12, were compared in terms of their performance on the marble-in-the-hole task. In keeping with the general developmental progression from helplessness and dependence to autonomy and independence, both retarded and intellectually average children of higher MAs were found to be less motivated for social reinforcement than children of lower MAs. However, at each MA level, the retarded children were more dependent than the nonretarded children.
الصفحة 105 - ... experiences. On the other hand, informal education can begin at many different ages, depending on the culture's attributions to the child. The Digo and Kikuyu are two East African cultures that have different beliefs about infant capacities (deVries and Sameroff 1984).
