Retardation is the act or result of delaying; the extent to which anything is retarded or delayed; that which retards or delays.
Retardation may refer to:
Medicine and biology
- Mental retardation, 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
- 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
Other uses
- A process used in proofing (baking technique)
- A suspension (music) that resolves upward instead of downward
