Model syndromes for investigating social cognitive and affective neuroscience: a comparison of Autism and Williams syndrome.

Social cognitive and affective neuroscience - 1 Dec 2006

Tager-Flusberg Helen, Skwerer Daniela Plesa, Joseph Robert M

Abstract excerpt

Autism and Williams syndrome are genetically based neurodevelopmental disorders that present strikingly different social phenotypes. Autism involves fundamental impairments in social reciprocity and communication, whereas people with Williams syndrome are highly sociable and engaging. This article reviews the behavioral and neuroimaging literature that has explored the neurocognitive mechanisms that underlie...
