Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intellectual disability caused by physical disorders is known as organic intellectual disability. It is estimated that around half of all cases of intellectual disability are organic in nature, meaning that they can be attributed to identifiable physical causes such as brain damage, genetic disorders, or metabolic conditions. The other half of cases may have no identifiable cause or may be related to environmental factors or other influences. Choice A (familial) refers to cases of intellectual disability that run in families and are believed to be caused by genetic factors. Choice C (inductive) and Choice D (functional) do not accurately describe the known causes of intellectual disability.
