Mental and Chronological Age as Predictors of Age-Appropriate Leisure Activity in Children with Mental Retardation.

Evans, David W.; And Others

Mental Retardation, v33 n2 p120-27 Apr 1995

Forty children with mental retardation were compared on everyday leisure-time behaviors with children without mental retardation matched for mental age (MA) or chronological age (CA). Although MA best predicted overall functioning on leisure-time behavior, CA best predicted both single highest behavior performed and highest behavior considered too immature. (Author/JDD)
