The present work compares the neuropsychological and cognitive profiles of 4 children with the Williams and Down syndrome. The Authors stress the importance of an accurate analysis of each child's developmental story. They monitor children with physical malformations associated to Mental Retardation or other psychopathological problems in order to have a better understanding of their cognitive strategies and true potential and of their social and emotional implications. This procedure allows immediate action to be taken as soon as physical, emotional or cognitive problems arise. It also enables parents to be fully aware of their children's problems and to be able to meet their different developmental needs.
本研究比较了4名患有威廉姆斯综合征和唐氏综合征儿童的神经心理学和认知特征。作者强调了准确分析每个儿童发育情况的重要性。他们对患有与智力迟钝或其他精神病理学问题相关身体畸形的儿童进行监测，以便更好地了解他们的认知策略、真正潜力以及社会和情感影响。这一程序能在身体、情感或认知问题出现时立即采取行动。它还能让家长充分了解孩子的问题，并能够满足他们不同的发育需求。
