The American psychologist Henry H. Goddard, who coined the term "moron", was the director of the Vineland Training School (originally the Vineland Training School for Backward and Feeble-minded Children) at Vineland, New Jersey. Goddard was known for strongly postulating that "feeble-mindedness" was a hereditary trait, most likely caused by a single recessive gene. Goddard rang the eugenic "alarm bells" in his 1912 work, "The Kallikak Family: A Study in the Heredity of Feeble-Mindedness", about those in the population who carried the recessive trait despite outward appearances of normality.
