本研究调查了 10 名威廉姆斯综合征 (WS)（平均实际年龄：8;9 岁；平均心理年龄：4;8 岁）和唐氏综合症（DS）（平均实际年龄：8;7 岁；平均心理年龄：4;6 岁）患者的句法能力，并分别对实际年龄、心理年龄和表现智商进行了匹配。所研究的句法成分包括被动语态的理解以及 wh 问题的产生、理解和重复。将表现与 10 名较年轻的典型发育 (TD) 对照进行比较，这些对照分别与两个实验组的心理年龄相匹配（平均实际年龄：4；4 岁；平均心理年龄：5；0 岁）。参与者接受了语法能力的标准化测量和非标准化任务，探索主动句和被动句的理解，以及一系列 wh-问题类型的产生、理解和重复：wh-主语、wh-宾语、which NP-主语和which NP-宾语。具有 WS 和 DS 的参与者在语法能力的标准化测量以及利用被动语态理解以及 wh 问题的产生和理解的实验任务上表现相似。 DS 参与者在重复 wh 问题方面的表现明显低于 WS 队列和 TD 对照组。与年轻的 TD 对照组相比，WS 组和 DS 组在大多数句法任务上的表现都明显较差。患有 WS 和 DS 的个体在测量句法能力方面的任务时遇到了显着的困难，并且比心理年龄匹配的 TD 对照表现得更差。探讨了这些发现的含义，涉及围绕 WS 中语言“完整性”的争论，以及 WS 和 DS 中语言能力的异同（取决于所研究的年龄和发展阶段）。
This study investigates the syntactic abilities of ten individuals with Williams syndrome (WS) (mean chronological age: 8;9 years; mean mental age: 4;8 years) and Down's syndrome (DS) (mean chronological age: 8;7 years; mean mental age: 4;6 years), matched individually on chronological age, mental age and performance IQ. The syntactic components investigated include the comprehension of passives and the production, comprehension and repetition of wh‐questions. Performance is compared to ten younger typically developing (TD) controls matched individually to both experimental groups on mental age (mean chronological age: 4;4 years; mean mental age: 5;0 years). Participants were given a standardized measure of grammatical ability and non‐standardized tasks exploring the comprehension of active and passive sentences, and the production, comprehension and repetition of a range of wh‐question types: wh‐subject, wh‐object, which NP‐subject and which NP‐object. Participants with WS and DS performed similarly on the standardized measure of grammatical ability, as well as on the experimental tasks that tapped comprehension of passives, and production and comprehension of wh‐questions. Participants with DS performed significantly more poorly than both the WS cohort and TD controls on the repetition of wh‐questions. Both the WS and DS cohorts performed significantly more poorly on most of the syntactic tasks compared to the younger TD controls. Individuals with WS and DS experienced significant difficulties in tasks measuring aspects of syntactic ability and performed more poorly than mental age‐matched TD controls. Implications of these findings, with regards to the debates around language “intactness” in WS, as well as the similarities and differences in language abilities in WS and DS, dependent on age and developmental stages studied, are explored.
