Dementia, imbecility, aggressiveness, speech pathology, 1995
Degeneracy (mental retardation of mild degree)
(from Latin debilis - weak, weak) is an intellectual backwardness of mild degree which is characterized by the lowest degree of mental underdevelopment. The main feature of oligophrenics with the phenomena of debility is the loss of the ability to develop complex concepts. This violates the possibility of complex generalizations, prevents the formation of abstract thinking. Patients are predominantly specifically simplistic thinking, which makes it difficult for them to understand the whole situation, only the external side of events is caught, their inner essence is inaccessible to understanding. Of course, all this makes it difficult to adapt in the social environment, inhibits the growth of the individual.
Due to the fact that mechanical memory does not suffer at the same time, morons can learn in school, although mastering the material is difficult, it takes a long time. Naturally, the most difficult for mastering subjects are mathematics, physics. Since there is no creativity of the morons, they try to adopt what they hear from others-their views, expressions, use the patterns they know in speech, adhere to one position with sufficient rigidity. Some of them can even note a tendency to teach others, to talk about what they themselves do not exactly understand ("salon morons"). Along with the lack of the ability to subtle analysis of the situation, the generalization of facts with a mild degree of debility, these individuals can well orientate themselves in the usual concrete situation, discover good practical awareness, in some cases cunning and resourcefulness.
Primitive inclinations often get them the character of disinhibition (naked sexuality, attraction to arson, etc.).
The basic personality traits of morons, as well as imbeciles, can determine their character or as good-natured, affectionate, affable, or, on the contrary, as aggressive with stubbornness, spitefulness, distrust. Motor activity may also be different, in some, behavior becomes excitable, others are characterized by lethargy, lack of mobility.
