Institutionalized retarded clients (N = 142) were assessed on the Adaptive Behavior Scale (ABS) within 6 months of their admission to Woodhaven Center (Philadelphia) and approximately 12 to 18 months later. While clients were found to progress significantly on 7 of the 10 domains of Part One of the ABS, no significant gains were noted on Part Two. Selected client characteristics (age of admission, sex, IQ, AAMD etiological classification) were also examined as predictors of improvement on the ABS. None of these characteristics was significantly associated with gains on the ABS. The above findings were discussed in terms of specific characteristics of the client population and with respect to limitations of the ABS itself.
对入住伍德黑文中心（费城）的142名收容智障患者在入院后6个月内及大约12至18个月后进行了适应性行为量表（ABS）评估。虽然发现患者在ABS第一部分的10个领域中的7个领域有显著进步，但在第二部分未发现显著进展。还检查了选定的患者特征（入院年龄、性别、智商、美国智力缺陷协会病因分类）作为ABS改善的预测因素。这些特征均与ABS的进步无显著关联。根据患者群体的具体特征以及ABS本身的局限性对上述发现进行了讨论。
