“…They found that children with BIF recognized all facial expressions of emotion more frequently than their peers with ID did, but less frequently than their peers with average intelligence. Van Nieuwenhuijzen et al (2011) studied facial expressions as well and found no difference between the groups in the recognition of sad, happy, and angry expressions. However, fear was less recognized by the children with BIF than by their peers.…”

The literature related to people with borderline intellectual functioning (BIF) was systematically reviewed in order to summarize the present knowledge. Database searches yielded 1,726 citations, and 49 studies were included in the review. People with BIF face a variety of hardships in life, including neurocognitive, social, and mental health problems. When adults with BIF were compared with the general population, they held lower-skilled jobs and earned less money. Although some risk factors (e.g., low birth weight) and preventive factors (e.g., education) were reported, they were not specific to BIF. The review finds that, despite the obvious everyday problems, BIF is almost invisible in the field of research. More research, societal discussion, and flexible support systems are needed.

“…Beginning in childhood, intellectual disabilities (ID) have been linked to deficits in these SIP domains. Children with greater ID are more likely to attribute hostile intent to benign acts (Leffert, Siperstein & Millikan, 2000; van Nieuwenhuijzen, Vriens, Scheepmaker, Smit & Porton, 2011), and the extent to which hostile attributions are made relates to level of maladaptive responses (Jahoda, Pert & Trower, 2006). This finding is likely related to experiences of harassment and discrimination having damaged their self-concepts and creating a schema that includes the expectation of others hurting them (Jahoda, Pert, Squire & Trower, 1998).…”

“…They also show perseveration in the use of an ineffective solution to social problems (Wilson, 1999). Evidence of greater difficulty with perspective-taking, problem recognition, working memory, and emotion recognition has also been documented (van Nieuwenhuijzen et al, 2011). The deficits in “peer-related social competence” associated with children with ID is likely due to increased difficulty in focusing on, encoding, and integrating the types of social information necessary to navigate every day social situations (especially as the complexity of the situation increases), often resulting in social isolation (Guralnick, 2006; van Nieuwenhuijzen et al, 2011).…”

Parents with intellectual disabilities (PID) are over-represented in the child protective services (CPS) system. This study examined a more nuanced view of the role of cognition in parenting risk. Its goal was to validate a social information processing (SIP) model of child neglect that draws on social cognition research and advances in neuroscience. Mothers who had CPS child neglect cases were compared with mothers with no CPS involvement on a set of SIP factors. Mothers with low IQs were oversampled. As predicted, the Neglect group had significantly greater SIP problems than the Comparison mothers. SIP problems were associated with direct measures of neglect (e.g., cognitive stimulation provided children, home hygiene, belief regarding causes of child injuries). Further, for the direct measures that were most closely linked to CPS Neglect Status, IQ did not add significant predictive capacity beyond SIP factors in preliminary model testing. Implications for intervention with PID discussed.

“…Social abilities such as perspective taking and the interpretation of social situations are particularly impaired. The cause of this impairment would seem to be an inadequate system of Social Information Processing (SIP) closely linked to the slowness in selective attention, decreased working memory capacity, and increased inhibition processes (Van Nieuwenhuijzen, Vriens, Scheepmakerc, Smitc, & Porton, 2011).…”

“…First, an impaired processing speed can be identified as a main factor that limits "the amount of information that can be processed in a given time interval" with longer reaction times (RTs) in cognitive tasks and slower performance in intellectual tasks (Bonifacci & Snowling, 2007). Second, the delayed cognitive development and information processing characterizing the BIF creates memory or selective-attention problems, which in turn compromise the capacity to successfully acquire school capacities (Van Nieuwenhuijzen et al, 2011).…”

Emotional Profile and Intellectual Functioning

Insufficient literature has been produced addressing children with borderline intellectual functioning (BIF) and gifted intellectual functioning (GIF). The goal of this work is to compare levels of self-esteem, depression, anxiety at school, and insecurity among children with BIF and GIF, and a control group of average intellectual functioning (AIF). There were participants of 104 children (fourth grade of primary school). Analyses revealed that children with BIF showed a lower level of self-esteem and higher levels of depression and school anxiety. Moreover, our findings highlight the co-occurrence of school anxiety, depressed mood, and insecurity among the BIF and AIF groups. One of the issues that emerge from this study is the need to implement prevention programs aimed at identifying children with lower or higher levels of intellectual functioning. These findings highlight the importance of establishing what the most appropriate educational and clinical interventions are in reducing the risks of mental disorders in this population.
