Musical aptitude was assessed in 16 adults nominated as having special musical interests and/or skills and 16 matched comparison adults. Information pertaining to strengths and weaknesses in adjustment was also obtained. Musical target subjects scored higher on the test of musical aptitude, particularly if they played a musical instrument. Evidence for difficulties in adjustment associated with musical skill or interest was mixed, although, in general, the results suggested no pervasive maladjustment among those with exceptional skill combined with mental retardation.
对16名被提名有特殊音乐兴趣和/或技能的成年人以及16名匹配的对照成年人进行了音乐才能评估。还获取了与适应能力优缺点相关的信息。音乐目标受试者在音乐才能测试中得分更高，尤其是如果他们会演奏乐器的话。与音乐技能或兴趣相关的适应困难的证据不一，不过总体而言，结果表明在那些技能卓越且伴有智力障碍的人群中，不存在普遍的适应不良情况。
