== Overview ==
==Overview==


'''Mental retardation''' is a term for a pattern of persistently slow [[learning]] of basic motor and [[language]] skills ("[[Developmental milestones|milestones]]") during [[childhood]], and a significantly below-normal global [[intelligence (trait)|intellectual capacity]] as an [[adult]]. One common criterion for diagnosis of mental retardation is a tested [[intelligence quotient]] ([[IQ]]) of 70 or below and deficits in adaptive functioning.
==Historical Perspective==


People with mental retardation may be described as having [[Developmental disability|developmental disabilities]], global [[developmental delay]], or [[learning difficulties]].
