BackgroundResearch investigating cognition and behaviour in Sotos syndrome has been sporadic and to date, there is no published overview of study findings.MethodA systematic review of all published literature (1964–2015) presenting empirical data on cognition and behaviour in Sotos syndrome. Thirty four journal articles met inclusion criteria. Within this literature, data relating to cognition and/or behaviour in 247 individuals with a diagnosis of Sotos syndrome were reported. Ten papers reported group data on cognition and/or behaviour. The remaining papers employed a case study design.ResultsIntelligence quotient (IQ) scores were reported in twenty five studies. Intellectual disability (IQ < 70) or borderline intellectual functioning (IQ 70–84) was present in the vast majority of individuals with Sotos syndrome. Seven studies reported performance on subscales of intelligence tests. Data from these studies indicate that verbal IQ scores are consistently higher than performance IQ scores. Fourteen papers provided data on behavioural features of individuals with Sotos syndrome. Key themes that emerged in the behavioural literature were overlap with ASD, ADHD, anxiety and high prevalence of aggression/tantrums.ConclusionAlthough a range of studies have provided insight into cognition and behaviour in Sotos syndrome, specific profiles have not yet been fully specified. Recommendations for future research are provided.

“…This information provides an insight into ability in the two separate domains that comprise FSIQ. Verbal IQ scores were reported to be higher than performance IQ scores in all studies, except one case study [ 34 ]. However, in this study, the participant was reported to have a performance IQ of 101 and a verbal IQ of 100.…”

for their invaluable guidance throughout my PhD and for inspiring me to pursue a career in academia. I would also like to thank all of the families who kindly gave their time to participate in these studies and the Child Growth Foundation for funding this research. I am extremely grateful to my parents for their encouragement and support and for always believing in me. Finally, I would like to dedicate my thesis to my sister, Romana.

“…The psychological functioning of three children with Sotos syndrome has been described by Patterson et al [24]. The children showed a marked unevenness in their intellectual development, perseverative responding, word-finding problems, psychomotor slowness, impairment in arithmetic reasoning and computation, and concrete thinking.…”
