Abstract

The study examined whether the social phenotype in Williams syndrome (WS) arises from atypical perception, attention, or executive function. Adults with WS (n=30) and neurotypical controls (n=32) completed a "Mind Reading" task requiring integration of facial emotions and gaze direction to infer desirability of concurrently presented objects. Participants with WS succeeded on direct gaze trials but performed near chance when disengagement from gaze direction was required. Perceptual (N170), attentional (P3), and emotional (LPP) neural response patterns were comparable between the groups. The discrepancy between neural findings and behavioral difficulties points to executive function as the contributor to WS social phenotype.

威廉姆斯综合症多重社会线索的整合：神经和行为证据。

该研究考察了威廉姆斯综合征（WS）的社会表型是否源于非典型的感知、注意力或执行功能。患有WS的成年人（n=30）和神经正常的对照组（n=32）完成了一项“读心术”任务，该任务要求整合面部情绪和凝视方向，以推断同时呈现的物体的可取性。患有WS的参与者在直接注视试验中成功，但在要求脱离注视方向时却几乎没有机会。知觉（N170）、注意（P3）和情绪（LPP）神经反应模式在两组之间具有可比性。神经发现和行为困难之间的差异表明执行功能是WS社会表型的贡献者。

期刊介绍： Devoted to exploring relationships between brain and behavior across the life span, Developmental Neuropsychology publishes scholarly papers on the appearance and development of behavioral functions, such as language, perception, and social, motivational and cognitive processes as they relate to brain functions and structures. Appropriate subjects include studies of changes in cognitive function—brain structure relationships across a time period, early cognitive behaviors in normal and brain-damaged children, plasticity and recovery of function after early brain damage, the development of complex cognitive and motor skills, and specific and nonspecific disturbances, such as learning disabilities, mental retardation, schizophrenia, stuttering, and developmental aphasia. In the gerontologic areas, relevant subjects include neuropsychological analyses of normal age-related changes in brain and behavioral functions, such as sensory, motor, cognitive, and adaptive abilities; studies of age-related diseases of the nervous system; and recovery of function in later life. Empirical studies, research reviews, case reports, critical commentaries, and book reviews are featured in each issue. By publishing both basic and clinical studies of the developing and aging brain, the journal encourages additional scholarly work that advances understanding of the field of lifespan developmental neuropsychology.
