Abstract: Many studies have reported that children and adults with cultural-familial retardation have \nproblems with tasks involving the recognition of emotions. On the basis of these findings \nRojahn, Rabold & Schneider (1995) have proposed that people with mental retardation suffer \nfrom a specific deficit in emotion perception. This paper proposes that the case for emotion \nspecificity is not as compelling as Rojahn et al propose and presents alternative conceptual \nmodels that may serve as useful aids when designing and appraising future studies, and in \nthinking about clinical interventions in this area.
