Two hundred twenty-one predominantly adolescent institutionalized retarded residents, classified as hyperactive, were compared on 15 variables to a matched group classified as nonhyperactive. (Author/MC)

Assessed was the degree to which classification of mental retardation levels based upon a measure of adaptive behavior (the Vineland Social Maturity Scale) differed from the classification based upon IQ for Negro and Caucasian children, 4 to 17 years of age. (Author)
