Mentally retarded children are those who display severe restrictive disabilities on intelligence, adaptive behavior, social interactions and so on. As an important aspect of children's theory of mind and a significant research subject in developmental and educational psychology, emotion understanding plays a positive and supportive role in the social development of mentally retarded children. Through systematically integrating the researches on the emotion competence of intellectually disabled children, this thesis compared the developmental characteristics of emotion understanding between mentally disabled and normal children, summarized the achievements and limitations of current researches, and provided expectations for the direction and methods of future study.
