  • Title: Accuracy and stability of self-image of mentally retarded adults.
    Author: Vinter A, Mounoud P, Husain O.
    Journal: Am J Ment Defic; 1983 May; 87(6):583-90. PubMed ID: 6869417.
    Abstract:
    The accuracy and stability of self-image of 21 mentally retarded adults and 24 nonretarded adults were studied. The subjects were confronted with a distorting mirror that made their faces look either fatter or slimmer. Results showed that retarded adults saw themselves as more distorted than did non-retarded adults. Significant sex differences in the retarded population were found. Both the precision and the stability of retarded adults' self-image were significantly correlated with IQ. Results were interpreted within a cognitive framework.
