Which of the following criteria is NOT suggested by American Association on Mental Deficiency (AAMD) for considering an individual as mentally challenged?

  • A.Intellectual functioning should be sub-average
  • B.Deficit in adaptive behaviour
  • C.Deficit must be observed during the developmental period (0-18 yrs)
  • D.Deficit in adjustive behaviour

Answer: D

'Deficit in adjustive behaviour' is not among the criteria of the American Association on Mental Deficiency. The criteria are sub-average intellectual functioning, deficit in adaptive behaviour (coping with the demands of daily life), and onset during the developmental period (0 to 18 years). 'Adjustive' is a distractor for 'adaptive'.
