Description
Language and communication problems have long figured prominently in the definition of mental retardation. Volume 27
of the International Review of Research in Mental Retardation focuses exclusively on these language and communication
issues. The pace of research on language learning and use in mental retardation has increased in recent years and taken new direction.
This revitalization has been fueled by three factors: 1) advances in genetic technologies allowing investigation of the behavioral phenotypes
of well-defined syndromes, 2) an increased emphasis on maximizing abilities of individuals with mental retardation to live and succeed
in a broader range of contexts and settings, and 3) theoretical debates concerning the mechanisms of language development and the nature
of the human mind.
Contents in Language and Communication in Mental Retardation include syndromes (e.g., Down syndrome,
Williams syndrome), domains of language skill (e.g., reading), and intervention strategies.
Audience
Academic researchers in developmental and cognitive psychology, as well as neuropsychology.
