English term or phrase: set
Students in the mild range will show some early concrete operational skills, but won’t understand the same concept at a slightly higher level. Groupings are still pretty much at the subgroup categories, but there may be the occasional supergroup. However, the flexibility needed to go between the sets is not firmly established.

患有轻度智力低下的学生会表现出早期具体运思能力,但无法理解等级稍高的同一概念。分类大多还停留在子群水平,但偶尔也会出现超群。然而,在各*群组*之间转换所需的灵活性发挥不稳定。

Can I translate set as 群组 here? Thanks!

定势


Explanation:
mental set - 思维定势
set shifting - 定势转换

I assume that "set" in this sentence is not really a group of persons. It is often referred to a kind of expectations o a way to deal with different situations in psychology.

Asker: More reasonable, but are you sure that "set" here is not referred to different grouping categories?
