Our
research study on Williams syndrome, which began in 1993, focuses
on social understanding in children and adults with Williams syndrome.
Our findings from this previous work point to a striking mix of strengths
and difficulties in their social abilities, prompting us to further
explore the ways in which people with Williams syndrome process information
about other people. |

| This study, funded
by a grant from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development,
involves young children with Williams syndrome and Down syndrome.
We are interested in exploring the relations between early social
experience, especially in the family, and children’s ability
to express and regulate their emotions and behavior. In particular,
we are interested in exploring how children’s temperament, attachment
bonds, and style of interaction with parents and peers may contribute
to later social competence, such as the ability to empathize with
others, and to respond appropriately in emotionally charged situations. |
