The importance of cross-syndrome comparisons
|
| Description: |
Annette Karmiloff-Smith, Birkbeck Centre for Brain & Cognitive Development, University of London
Location: Building 46, MIT
Please RSVP to lmavros@mit.edu
Scientists tend to focus on single domains and single syndromes, searching for dissociations. However, the search for cross-syndrome associations can yield deeper insights and raise new cognitive-level and brain-level questions. In this talk, I will show how cross-syndrome and cross-domain comparisons of Autism Spectrum Disorder, Williams syndrome, Down syndrome and Fragile X syndrome allow us to pinpoint basic domain-general deficits in infancy and their cascading effects across domains over developmental time, yielding domain-specific deficits in the phenotypic outcome.
