“…In the co-ordinate spatial relations task, the individual had to indicate whether the square was within 3mm of the horizontal line, or further than 3mm from Spatial location 8 the line. Koenig et al (1990) used these tasks with children. The authors explained the rules by disguising the task as a baseball game with the square as the ball, and the line as the bat.…”

“…We assessed performance not only for absolute accuracy as in the study by Koenig et al (1990), but also in terms of patterns of performance as this gives insight into the strategies employed to adjust inexact representations. This can be related to Huttenlocher et al"s (1991) CAM, which describes how, in typical development, inexact representations are adjusted using category information; category boundaries (the value at the endpoint of a category) and prototypes (a category exemplar falling in the centre of a category).…”

Second, that the comprehension of visual relations is also at an equivalent level to spatial relational understanding in this population. These results can explain the difference in performance on visuo-spatial perception and construction tasks in WS.In addition, both the WS and control groups displayed response biases in the spatial tasks. However, the direction of bias differed across the groups. This finding is explored in relation to current theories of spatial location coding.

Individuals with Williams syndrome (WS) demonstrate impaired visuo-spatial abilities in comparison to their level of verbal ability. In particular, visuo-spatial construction is an area of relative weakness. It has been hypothesised that poor or atypical location coding abilities contribute strongly to the impaired abilities observed on construction and drawing tasks (Farran & Jarrold, 2005;Hoffman, Landau & Pagani, 2003). The current experiment investigated location memory in WS. Specifically, the precision of remembered locations was measured as well as the biases and strategies that were involved in remembering those locations. A developmental trajectory approach was employed; WS performance was assessed relative to the performance of typically developing (TD) children ranging from 4-to 8-years-old. Results showed differential strategy use in the WS and TD groups.WS performance was most similar to the level of a TD 4-year-old and was additionally impaired by the addition of physical category boundaries. Despite their low level of ability, the WS group produced a pattern of biases in performance which pointed towards evidence of a subdivision effect, as observed in TD older children and adults. In contrast, the TD children showed a different pattern of biases, which appears to be explained by a normalisation strategy. In summary, individuals with WS do not process locations in a typical manner. This may have a negative impact on their visuo-spatial construction and drawing abilities.
