What can developmental disorders tell us about the neurocomputational constraints that shape development? The case of Williams syndrome.

Development and psychopathology - 1 Jan 2003

Karmiloff-Smith Annette, Thomas Michael

Abstract excerpt

The uneven cognitive phenotype in the adult outcome of Williams syndrome has led some researchers to make strong claims about the modularity of the brain and the purported genetically determined, innate specification of cognitive modules. Such arguments have particularly been marshaled with respect to language. We challenge this direct generalization from adult phenotypic outcomes to genetic specification and...
