Abstract Contrary to what occurs with negative pictures, words are, in general, not capable of interfering performance ongoing cognitive tasks normal subjects. A probable explanation is the limited arousing power linguistic material. Especially intense (insults and compliments), neutral personal adjectives, pseudowords were presented 28 participants while they executed a lexical decision task. Insults associated poorest task compliments best. Amplitude late positive component event‐related...
Abstract Do gifted students adjust poorly to their social environment? There are currently two competing positions: one that sustains giftedness is by itself a risk factor for adaptation, and another holds high cognitive abilities involve distinctive features protective hence increase individual resilience. Empirical support has been provided both positions. This paper provides data from study performed with 50 Spanish‐speaking children adolescents using comparison group of average‐ability...
The development of language indicating the emergence thinking about thoughts self and others has been scarcely studied in Spanish-speaking children. For this reason, we mental state various indicators 25 children assessed at 3, 3 1/2, 4, 4 5 years age. We coded categorized 40,250 utterances produced during five time points, 1202 (3.01%) which had terms. In sample, Spanish developed with a similar timeline patterns as described English-speaking However, several findings were novel for studies...
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to compare the prosodic profiles English- and Spanish-speaking children with Williams syndrome (WS), examining cross-linguistic differences. Two groups WS, English Spanish, similar chronological nonverbal mental age, were compared on performance in expressive receptive tasks from Profiling Elements Prosody Speech–Communication Battery its or Spanish version. Differences between WS found regarding understanding affect through means, using prosody make words...
Williams syndrome (WS), a genetic neurodevelopmental disorder, has been taken as evidence that music and language constitute separate modules. This research focused on the linguistic component of prosody aimed to assess whether relationships exist between pitch processing mechanisms for in WS. Children with WS typically developing individuals were presented musical two discrimination tasks. In task, participants required distinguish tones same or different. The tasks evaluated participants'...
Musical skill has been included among the phenotypic strengths in Williams syndrome (WS), often considered as a superior ability. Nevertheless, limited research carried out on this skill. Singing abilities of group individuals with WS were compared those control typically developing participants matched for chronological age. Both objective acoustic measurements and musicians' nonmusicians' perceptions obtained from singing tasks. Results showed that not or excellent WS. Furthermore, could...
Although absolute pitch (AP) is a rare skill in typical development, individuals with Williams syndrome (WS) are often referred to as possessing this musical ability. However, there paucity of research on the topic. In article, 2 studies were conducted evaluate AP WS. Study 1, seven musically trained WS, 14 typically developing controls matched for chronological age, and experienced musicians completed pitch-identification task. task was classical assessment AP, it required participants have...
In spite of the relevant role prosody in communication, and contrast with other linguistic components, there is paucity research this field for Williams syndrome (WS). Therefore, study performed a systematic assessment prosodic abilities WS. The Spanish version Profiling Elements Prosody Speech—Communication battery was administered to 27 Spanish-speaking adolescents adults WS control group 54 typically developing participants matched chronological age (CA). Participants presented deficits,...
Individuals with Williams syndrome (WS) show difficulties in attributing false beliefs, whereas they are better at emotions. This study examines whether being asked about the emotion linked to a belief, instead of explicitly facilitates performance on theory mind (ToM) tasks.Thirty children WS and 90 typically developing children, who were individually matched mental age (50-112 months), administered six explicit (i.e. questions belief) implicit emotion) trials belief tasks.Theory...
Twelve cerebral palsied adolescents and young adults with complex communicative needs who used augmentative alternative communication were studied. They classified according to their working memory capacity (high vs. low) into two groups of 6 participants. also divided participants high low phonological skills. These compared on performance in reading tests –orthographic knowledge, a word test pseudoword test- the spelling words, pseudowords pictures' names. Statistical differences found...
although rhythmic abilities have often been described as strengths within the cognitive profile of individuals with Williams syndrome (WS), literature in this respect is limited and has offered inconsistent results. In study, 20 adolescents adults WS a control group 40 typically developing matched for chronological age were presented patterns discrimination task reproduction task. Individuals performed significantly lower than their peers both tasks. addition, impairments explained by...
The aim of this work was to study attentional functions spatial orientation, alerting and executive control in individuals with autism spectrum disorders, based on Posner's model networks (1978). To purpose the Attention Network Test (Fan et al., 2002) applied a group 10 Asperger syndrome normally developing participants. subjects AS showed an atypical pattern regarding efficiency networks, reaction times total correct answers. Results are discussed as attention functioning disorders...

ResumenLa tarea clásica de teoría la mente (Wimmer y Perner, 1983) permite el estudio del desarrollo comprensión algunos verbos mentales. Estos tienen particulares atributos semánticos lógicos. En clásica, las preguntas habituales son sobre los «pensar» o «creer» que intencionales. este trabajo hemos diseñado una nueva investigar otros epistémicos como «recordar» «saber» no un rasgo intencionalidad.
