Ment Retard. 1990 Jun;28(3):147-53.
A definition of mental retardation developed under the aegis of the instructional paradigm was presented. Its purpose and use is to (a) clarify the task of personnel who work with persons who have been identified as mentally retarded and (b) provide a concept that unifies apparently discrete instructional constructs. This definition can also help mold the perceptual patterns of young persons entering the field by establishing expectations that focus on the provision of instruction.
提出了在教学范式的支持下制定的智力迟钝的定义。其目的和用途是：(a) 明确与已被确定为智力迟钝者打交道的人员的任务；(b) 提供一个统一明显不同的教学结构的概念。这个定义还可以通过确立侧重于提供教学的期望，帮助塑造进入该领域的年轻人的认知模式。
