to parenting and families, including chapters on biomarkers in the
study of families of individuals with developmental disabilities,
contrasts in parenting across early school age children with
developmental delays, parental contributions to communication
development, and siblings of individuals with intellectual
disabilities. * Provides the most recent scholarly research in the study of mental retardation * A vast range of perspectives is offered, and many topics are covered * An excellent resource for academic researchers

Volume 31 of the International Review of Research in Mental
Retardation is a thematic exploration of personality and motivation
in persons with mental retardation. Looking at a broad spectrum of
intellectual disabilities, Mental Retardation, Personality, and
Motivational Systems explores motivation as a moderator for
performance and individualized effort. Coverage includes
discussions of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in both mentally
retarded and non-retarded children, self-determination,
interpersonal decision making in adolescents and adults with mental
retardation, interpersonal relationships, and the connection
between etiological-specific differences and motivation to form
"behavioral phenotypes." A final chapter presents a transactional
perspective on human ability, relying on constructs of
intelligence, cognitive processes, and motivation, with
implications for developmental interventions in the lives of
persons with mental retardation.
Neurotoxicity and Developmental Disabilities is a comprehensive
review of the relationship between neurotoxicity and mental
retardation. Though individual chapters each focus on a specific
toxin, the chapters jointly emphasize that many variables influence
the developmental outcomes following exposure to neurotoxicants,
including timing of exposure, pattern of exposure, dose,
susceptibility, and environmental conditions.

Motivation is the energizing force that drives much of our attention, conscious effort, and achievement in life. Yet this important driving force may be absent, low, or problematic in persons with mental retardation. This special thematic volume in the "International Review of Research in Mental Retardation" focuses on motivation within this special population. The book explores several theoretical models of motivation, as well as discussing issues of goal orientation, self-regulated academic learning, the setting and monitoring of realistic goals, and social competence for people with mental retardation. Additional chapters discuss the measurement of subjective well-being and quality of life in this population, and strategies for empowering students with developmental difficulties as well as instructional practices and contexts that can enhance motivation, learning, and achievement.
Language and communication problems have long figured prominently
in the definition of mental retardation. Volume 27 of the
International Review of Research in Mental Retardation focuses
exclusively on these language and communication issues. The pace of
research on language learning and use in mental retardation has
increased in recent years and taken new direction. This
revitalization has been fueled by three factors: 1) advances in
genetic technologies allowing investigation of the behavioral
phenotypes of well-defined syndromes, 2) an increased emphasis on
maximizing abilities of individuals with mental retardation to live
and succeed in a broader range of contexts and settings, and 3)
theoretical debates concerning the mechanisms of language
development and the nature of the human mind.

Autism Spectrum Disorder is one of the most researched and popular
topics in the fields of psychology, psychiatry, and special
education. In the last 30 years the amount of new information on
assessment and treatment has been astounding. The field has moved
from a point where many considered the condition untreatable to the
current position that it may be curable in some cases and that all
persons with this condition can benefit from treatment. Intervening
with school age children continues to be a major focus of
assessment or intervention. However, expanding the ages of those
receiving more attention from younger children to older adults, is
becoming more prevalent. The consensus is that intensive treatment
at the earliest recognized age is critical and that many adults
evince symptoms of the disorder and warrant care.
