Journal of child psychology and psychiatry, and allied disciplines - 1 Mar 2002

Dykens Elisabeth M

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: This three-part study examines previous clinical impressions that people with Prader-Willi syndrome have unusual jigsaw puzzle and word search skills. RESULTS: Children with Prader-Willi syndrome showed relative strengths on standardized visual-spatial tasks (Object Assembly, Triangles, VMI) in that their scores were significantly higher than age- and IQ-matched peers with mixed mental retardation,...
