Abstract

The article focuses on the functional analysis of developmental retardation. Hypothetical, internal determining factors and biological processes do not explain the condition. Abnormal anatomical structure and functioning, inadequate reinforcement and discrimination histories, the consequences of aversive stimulation, and reinforcement of aversive behavior play roles in retardation. Also discussed is the possible discontinuity in the interaction with a mother figure.
