Abstract
The cognitive and adaptive capacities of 130 individuals with Down syndrome were investigated as a function of age and environmental placement. Intellectual deterioration occurred whether individuals resided at home or in an institutional setting. Social/adaptive deterioration also occurred but with the least decline for those individuals who resided in institutional settings.
