Subsequent to the publication in 1973 of the Manual on Terminology and Classification in Mental Retardation and the 1977 revisions, investigators have failed to adhere to the revisions. Additionally, some have failed to provide descriptive characteristics of subjects that would permit replication. Implications of these issues were discussed.

A chronically institutionalized, high-grade retardate group traditionally characterized as possessing poor habilitation prognosis was re-appraised and good prognostic indices were isolated and described, from this appraisal the principles of deprivation, reinforcement and peer support were invoked to develop an habilitation paradigm for this selected high-risk group. Although specifically tailored to retardates, the model may have generalization potential for other handicapped groups. Through this research and placement approach, it appears possible to more validly assess the circumstances that enhance or undermine retardates' motivation to work.
RESUMEN
The social behavior of a group of institutionalized profoundly mentally retarded male adults was observed under conditions of increased space. The findings demonstrated that an increase in space of 29 percent significantly reduced the frequency of aggressive acts occurring within the group. Also observed was the effect of increased space on the residents' mobility and nonaggressive interactions. Results were discussed in relation to the residents' need for space.
