After categorization of the subjects are as mild (n = 15), moderate (n = 15) and severe (n = 15) on the basis of their IQ scores, their mental ages (MAs) were analyzed using Stanford Binet Intelligence Scale. Social ages (SAs) of subjects of three groups were evaluated by Vineland Social Maturity Scale (VSMS). Both the MAs and SAs were plotted against their chronological ages. The symbol asterisks (*) indicate significant difference in mental age compared to physical age either in mild, moderate or severe group. The symbol “#” represents significant difference in social age compared to physical age either in mild, moderate or severe group. The letters (a, b, c), (d, e, f) and (g, h, i) stand for significant differences in parametric values of physical age, mental age, social age of mild, moderate and severe group, respectively. The letters ‘ab’ indicate that the value is not significantly different compared to either ‘a’, or ‘b’.
