Resumen

Este estudio se dirige a contrastar las diferencias en el comportamiento adaptativo de los sujetos retrasados que son producto de los diferentes contextos en los que éste es emitido. En este caso, el contexto se entiende como los aspectos físicos y sociales del lugar en el que inmediatamente se produce la conducta. Esta perspectiva molecular del contexto ha permitido detectar diferencias en el comportamiento adaptativo en términos de lenguaje receptivo y lenguaje expresivo. La muestra utilizada fueron 71 sujetos evaluados a través del West Virginia assessment and tracking system.

Abstract

71 mentally retarded subjects were evaluated by the West Virginia Assessment and tracking system. The variables considered were receptive and expressive language across different contexts. In this case, the context is considered from a molecular point of view, a neglected approach in the study of adaptative behavior. Significant differences were obtained in terms of the context where the observation was developed. These results pose news questions in the intervention and the evaluation of handicaped persons.
