Question

The _______________________ argues that the link between learning disabilities and delinquency is caused by the side effects of learning disabilities such as impulsiveness and the inability to learn from social cues. Select one: a. reactionary rationale b. school failure rationale c. accentuating mediating rationale d. susceptibility rationale

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is letter d. susceptibility rationale.

Explanation:

Susceptibility refers to someone's likelihood of being easily influenced by something or someone, that is, the inability to resist. The susceptibility rationale sees learning disabled people as more susceptible to commit crimes due to certain consequences of their disabilities - such as the ones mentioned in the question: impulsiveness and inability to learn from social cues. People with learning disabilities would, therefore, be less likely to obey social norms.
