Abstract(in English) Recently, mentally retarded children with learning disabilities are detected when children can be evaluated by their intelligence quotient(IQ). Many results have shown that between birth and the age of three, brain development almost reaches 80%, before the age of five reaches almost 90% and maximum efficiency before six years old. It is in the first three years of human life that the brain has most of its growth. In this study, we try to detect mentally retarded children by analyzing their facial expressions after displaying certain face picture images. If mentally retarded children could be detected before the age of three, the correct treatment could be prescribed at an early stage before the brain completely develops. Therefore the possibility for the brain recovery is higher and also could increase the child's ability. From this study, we can conclude that children easily recognize and understand information from familiar sources, like their own mother's facial expressions than from unknown sources, like from unknown woman.
