Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An organic intellectual disability is caused by physical factors, such as damage due to teratogens, a lack of oxygen at birth, or defective genes. This is in contrast to a biopsychosocial intellectual disability, which can have both physical and psychological causes, or a familial intellectual disability, which is inherited through genetics. Environmental factors can also play a role in intellectual disabilities, but they fall under the broader category of biopsychosocial causes.
