29、为器质性的,大多数严重的智障形式属于此类。如果智障没有明显的器质性根源,被怀疑由贫困、无刺激的环境、低智商的潜在遗传所导致,有70%到80%的智障属于这种类型,轻度和中度,叫做非器质性或非正式智障。Mental Retardation 智障儿童与正常儿童相比较其智力不仅是程度的区别,而且在一些方面表现出不足:注意难集中;几乎没有记忆策略,因此保持信息的能力在长短时记忆中被阻碍;不能将知识在不同学习情境中转换。一些专家表示,不清楚器质性智障儿童是否在其他智力加工方面有同样的结构,但他们在获得认知技能方面的发展过程可能是独特的。Mental Retardation 一些为智障儿童加标签,如“缓慢学习者”、“例外儿童”、“特殊需要儿童”,这种行为不能被普遍接受。另一个关注焦点是智障儿童所在的特殊学校被鼓励实践正常学校中班级的主要活动。
