“…As in WS but to a lesser extent, skills for identity recognition are better than those for recognizing facial expressions in DS (Williams, Wishart, Pitcarin, & Willis, 2005;Wishart & Pitcarin, 2000). Across labeling, matching and identification tasks with static stimuli, individuals with DS consistently perform significantly lower than TD peers of the same MA (Kasari, Freeman, & Hughes, 2001;Hippolyte et al, 2009;Hippolyte, Barisnikov, Van der Linden, 2008;Porter et al, 2007;Williams et al, 2005;Wishart et al, 2007;Wishart & Pitcairn, 2000). However, these results seem to be observed only from a mental age of 4 years and above (Kasari et al, 2001).…”

At 3 years of MA, children with DS perform as well as TD MA-matched peers (Kasari et al, 2001). Performance in DS is better with dynamic than static stimuli, but even with dynamic stimuli adults with DS present impairments in facial expression recognition (Virji-Babul, Watt, Nathoo, & Johnson, 2012).…”

“…Studies have also variously reported specific impairments in DS of fear (Kasari et al, 2001;Williams et al, 2005;Wishart & Pitcairn, 2000), surprise (Hippolyte et al, 2008;Hippolyte et al, 2009;Wishart & Pitcairn, 2000), anger (Kasari et al, 2001) and sadness (Porter et al, 2007). This variability may relate to the relatively small number of trials per emotion that are typical in these studies making solid conclusions difficult (Williams et al, 2005).…”

In this study both the matching and developmental trajectories approaches were used to clarify the development of facial expression recognition in Williams syndrome (WS) and Down syndrome (DS). The matching approach showed that neither individuals with WS nor DS exhibit a specific proficiency for the expression of happiness or a specific impairments for negative emotions but presented the same pattern of emotion recognition as typically developing (TD) individuals. Thus, the better performance on the recognition of positive compared to negative emotions often reported in WS and DS is not specific to these populations but represents a typical pattern. Prior studies based on the matching approach suggested that the development of facial expression recognition is delayed in WS and atypical in DS. Nevertheless, and even though performance levels were lower in DS than in WS, the developmental trajectories approach used in this study found that not only individuals with DS but also those with WS present atypical developmental trajectories. Unlike in the TD participants where developmental changes were observed along with age, in the WS and DS development was static. Thus, both individuals with WS and those with DS reach early maximum levels of facial expression recognition due to cognitive constraints.

“…Still, parents perceive their children with Down syndrome as more sociable. Compared to MA-matched typically developing children, children with Down syndrome also show higher rates of such rudimentary social behaviors as looking to the adult and smiling (Kasari, Mundy, Yirmiya, & Sigman, 1990). In turn, such sociable, positive personalities seem to influence parents.…”

Studying Interactions, Reactions, and Perceptions: Can Genetic Disorders Serve as Behavioral Proxies?

Different genetic disorders predispose individuals to display specific, etiology-related profiles, personalities, and maladaptive behaviors. Using groups with genetic etiologies as stand-ins or proxies for a specific behavior or set of behaviors, one can then examine how others in the child's environment react and whether such reactions are limited to a particular disorder or occur generally to all individuals showing that behavior. Just as twins, adopted, and institutionalized children have all been used as natural experiments to tell us about typical development, so too can groups with specific genetic syndromes help us to understand the nature and mechanisms of the reactions and behaviors of others.

Based in classic developmental theory and in more than two centuries of ever increasingly sophisticated medical thinking and science, the developmental approach has transformed the theory, methodology, and interpretation of the study of persons with intellectual disability. The primary contributions include the differentiation among persons with intellectual disability by etiology, the application of developmental principles to the specific etiological groups, the emphasis on mental age (MA) (rather than chronological age; CA), and the consideration of the “whole person” along with his or her family and community. In debunking the monolithic approach to intellectual disability as a single disorder, the developmental approach allows for considerably more precision in the study of this population and the resultant rejection of common myths, albeit as part of a process that highlights the extent to which this field is a nascent one. In highlighting the broadening of the understanding of persons with intellectual disability, we review contributions from the study of social competence, language development, and family relations. We then introduce the potential impact and current limitations of the application of cutting‐edge technology in the study of neuroscience among persons with intellectual disability.
