title: [Comparative-age aspect of severe imbecility].
abstract: The study covered 3 age groups of patients with marked imbecility: 9-12, 13-15, and 16-18 years of age. The study was conducted with the help of psychological experiments as well as clinical and pedagogical observation. The patients' household skills and abilities to provide self-care were also analyzed. The results obtained are indicative of the positive development of individual functions which, however, is possible only under conditions of constant stimulation and corresponding work. Nevertheless, potential abilities of the patients are poor and they should be brought together in groups in boarding houses to allow them to learn at a level compatible with their intellectual abilities.
