“…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).…”

“…No significant differences have been found between individuals with DS and those with nonspecific intellectual disabilities or individuals with Fragile-X syndrome (Williams et al, 2005;Wishart et al, 2007;Wishart & Pitcairn, 2000). Yet, despite the lack of significant differences between groups, in the same studies, only participants with DS performed significantly lower than TD children matched on MA (Williams et al, 2005;Wishart et al, 2007;Wishart & Pitcairn, 2000).…”

“…Impairments of facial expression recognition in individuals with DS have also been linked to their social behavior (Hippolyte, Barisnikov, Van der Linden, & Detraux, 2009;Wishart, 2007;Wishart, Cebula, Willis, & Pitcairn, 2007). 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).…”

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.

“…Again, the results indicated that children with DS were less accurate and slower in response to MA-matched controls. Furthermore, unlike the TD group, the accuracy of the children in DS group was not sensitive to orientation of the faces (see also, Williams et al, 2005;Wishart, Cebula, Willis & Pitcairn, 2007, for similar studies).…”

“…Relatively little research has been carried out on face recognition in Down syndrome (DS) (see Williams et al, 2005;Wishart, et al, 2000Wishart, et al, , 2007for exceptions). On the basis of existing data, it has been claimed that individuals with DS exhibit a 'global' style in visuospatial processing (e.g., Bellugi et al, 1999), which one may take to be synonymous with visual processing that is more holistic and less featural.…”

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.
