Abstract

ABSTRACT Advances in research (bio-medical, psychological, and social) can provided a better understanding of the causes and effects of mental retardation. And also, fundamental research (bio-medical, social, and neurobehavioral) into the causes of mental retardation is encouraged and facilitated. For the critical evalua- tion of neurobehavioral teratogenical effects, the Collaborative Studies for the Standardization of Behavioral Teratology Methods (CSSBTM) started in November 1983 in Japan. The Third CSSBTM in 1986 had in principle detailed evaluation on errors in the pultiple water T-maze. The Collaborative Behavioral Teratology Study was also conducted in USA, which had more extensive testing procedures rather than the CSSBTM. Apparently, advances in knowledge and techniques will increase our success in preventing the more severe conditions of mental retardation.
