The cognitive and adaptive capacities of 130 individuals with Down syndrome were investigated as a function of age and environmental placement. Intellectual deterioration occurred whether individuals resided at home or in an institutional setting. Social/adaptive deterioration also occurred but with the least decline for those individuals who resided in institutional settings.
对130名唐氏综合征患者的认知和适应能力进行了调查，调查结果是年龄和生活环境的函数。无论患者是居家生活还是住在福利院，智力都会衰退。社会/适应能力也会衰退，但住在福利院的患者衰退程度最小。
