Abstract
In this paper are analysed the increases in mental age during a 3- to 31/2-yr. interval of 54 adolescents classified as mildly or moderately mentally retarded who had participated in rehabilitation therapy (the rapy) or had no therapy (control). Analysis showed that the rehabilita tion therapy significantly increased mental age only for subjects with mild retardation but not those with moderate mental retardation.
