Abstract
The importance of such research for theory construction, use by clinicians and construction of social policy was discussed, as was the value of both longitudinal and cross-institutional studies. Any comprehensive understanding of the effects of institutional experience required a consideration of the characteristics of the retarded person, his preinstitutional life experience, the nature of the institution and a range of criterion behavior on the part of the resident.
