Syntax and Morphology in Williams Syndrome.
Clahsen, Harald; Almazan, Mayella
Cognition, v68 n3 p167-98 Sep 1998
Investigated four cases of English-speaking children with Williams Syndrome (WS), a neuro-developmental disorder characterized by an unusual fractionation of language abilities. Found that, despite low IQ, subjects performance on syntactic tasks and on regular inflection is not impaired, suggesting a distinction between a computation system and an associative memory system for language in children with WS.
