Abstract
ABSTRACT— Labeling a child as mentally retarded (MR) has been shown to be a complex process. A particular score on an IQ test is a necessary but not sufficient criterion. The Flynn effect, as described by Kanaya and Ceci (2007), does affect the labeling process. Other considerations in this process include the metrics of IQ tests and the child’s sex, race, socioeconomic status, and geographic residence. The usefulness of IQ test scores continues to be debated by scholars and practitioners, yet current practice regularly utilizes the tests as well as other factors in MR labeling.
