Abstract

A group of noncommunicating (NC) mental retardates (MR) were compared with a matched group of communicating (C) peers on 10 behavior categories. The NC group rated higher on variables of Aggressiveness and Prefers Solitude, while the C group achieved significantly higher ratings on variables of Interacts, Participates, Feeding Skills, and Dressing Skills. A frustration-aggression interpretation was discussed along with the need for intervention techniques to instill communication skills.
