In the second subgroup (20%) the mental retardation was much more pronounced (IQ of 50----65) and the socio-cultural and socio-economic levels were particularly low. Finally, organic causes (prematurity, dystocic, labour, etc.) seemed to constitute the principal factor explaining the retardation observed in the third subgroup (14%).
