Gallagher, James J.
Intelligence, v9 n1 p97-108 Mar 1985
Disparities between European countries and the U.S. in terms of incidence and prevalence of mild mental retardation have become apparent. A model of intellectual performance that might explain disparities and predict future levels of occurrence of mild mental retardation is presented. Such explanations are relevant for theory and policy decisions. (Author/RD)
