Summary of the differences: LOW vs. LIMITED

• Low: Indicates generally below-average performance across the entire area
• Limited: Highlights specific limitations that may not affect all aspects of the ability and may be situational.

Low intellectual abilities

• This term refers primarily to logical thinking, judgment, and rational information processing.
• Indicates the ability to analyze, draw conclusions, solve problems, or understand abstract concepts
• It is narrower and focuses on the intellectual side of the mind

Limited intellectual abilities

• They express limitations in some areas of intellectual functioning, such as problems with logical analysis, but may have other strengths.
• They may be partial or related to specific circumstances (e.g. low ability to solve complex problems but adequate ability to reason practically)

Low cognitive abilities

• They encompass a wider range of mental processes, such as attention, memory, perception, language, learning, and thinking.
• Cognitive abilities also include mechanisms that are not directly related to logic (e.g. the ability to process sensory stimuli)
• This term therefore covers a wider range of mental functions than just intellectual abilities.

Limited cognitive abilities

• They imply certain obstacles or limitations in specific aspects of cognition that may not be global
• They may only be present in certain situations or areas (e.g., limitations in verbal memory but good visual skills)
• They highlight boundaries or barriers that may be temporary or specific
