Peer reviewedGoodman, Joan F. – Journal of School Psychology, 1977

It is better to adopt a descriptive approach and define retardation as relative failure on a cluster of socially determined behaviors, varying over cultures and over time. (Author)

The author states that research has shown that intelligence tests are nondiscriminatory and comply with federal law, specifically Public Law 94-142. (MH)
