Mental retardation, also known as
intellectual disability, a disorder characterized by significantly impaired cognitive functioning and deficits in adaptive behaviors
Psychomotor retardation, a slowing-down of thought and a reduction of physical movements in an individual
A form of
heterochrony, able to cause effects such as neoteny, retention by adults of traits previously seen only in the young
Physics and engineering
Retardation factor, in chromatography, the fraction of an analyte in the mobile phase of a chromatographic system
Retarded potential, in electrodynamics, electromagnetic potentials generated by time-varying electric current or charge distributions in the past
Retarded time, time when an electromagnetic field began to propagate from a point in a charge distribution to an observer
