Product Description:
Williams Syndrome (WS), aka Williams Beuren Syndrome, is a developmental
disorder that we have known about for some forty years. The cause for WS was
detected only recently: a micro deletion on chromosome 7, more specifically at
the region of chromosome 7q11.23. The cognitive and behavioral profile in WS is
characterized by a marked discrepancy between verbal and non-verbal skills
combined with relatively spared linguistic skills. Recent research has shown
considerable progress defining the areas of intactness in linguistic abilities.
This volume builds on that research, giving an overview of the psycholinguistic
research undertaken and opening up new perspectives and insights through new
data and analyses. This book is of interest to researchers of applied cognitive
science and to linguists more occupied with theoretical research.
