Education and Training in Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, v37 n3 p310-16 Sep 2002
A study examined all research articles published in four journals from 1993-2001. Approximately two-thirds of the articles consistently described participants by the diagnostic categories from the 1983 American Association on Mental Retardation (AAMR) diagnostic manual. An average of 10% of the articles described participants in terms of the 1992 AAMR manual. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
