Problems and Tactics in the Transcultural Study of Intelligence: An Archival Report

We deal here with conceptualizing mental retardation transculturally and with its problems—with the way a modest transcultural library study of mental retardation might be done within a limited geographical area. Finally, because finding useful references is difficult and time-consuming, an archival appendix gives a data base that might serve as a starting point for future, more ambitious studies. While readers may not agree with the conclusions we draw from the data, the accessibility of our data archive should make informed discussion easier.
