Evidence for this proposal is presented from various sources, including studies of children with Williams syndrome, a rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorder.

Schizophrenia and high functioning autism-spectrum disorders (ASD) are neurodevelopmental conditions that mainly impair social competence, while general intelligence (IQ) is spared.

Recently the debate has started to be inflected by embodied and phenomenological approaches, which claim that the standard por...

Language development in children with Williams syndrome: New insights from cross-linguistic research
