The term "mentally retarded" is no longer considered appropriate or used in professional settings. However, if we assume that the question refers to the old classification system, the term "mild mental retardation" is used when an individual has an IQ score between 50-70. This indicates that the individual has some limitations in intellectual functioning but can still learn basic skills and function independently with support.
