The formal definition of mental retardation, now more commonly referred to as intellectual disability, includes three key elements: significant limitations in intellectual functioning (typically an IQ score below 70), deficits in adaptive functioning that impact daily life skills, and the onset of these limitations during the developmental period (before age 18). These criteria ensure that the diagnosis encompasses both cognitive abilities and the ability to function effectively in society.
