2014, Research in Developmental DisabilitiesCitation Excerpt :Regarding visual-spatial functioning there is common scientific agreement that skills in this domain are severely impaired. Indeed, many studies have remarked that visual memory, visual perception, mental rotation, spatial visualization, spatial perception and drawing are particularly deficient in WS (Atkinson et al., 2003; Bihrle, Bellugi, Delis, & Marks, 1989; Farran, Jarrold, & Gathercole, 2001; Mandolesi et al., 2009; Wang, Doherty, Rourke, & Bellugi, 1995). Interestingly, little research has been conducted regarding relational vocabulary, where space concepts are integrated.
Visuo-spatial ability in individuals with Down syndrome: Is it really a strength?
2014, Research in Developmental DisabilitiesCitation Excerpt :In comparison to individuals with ID, Carlesimo and colleagues found that participants with DS performed more poorly on the copy measure of the Rey's Figure Form B, but similarly on the recall measure. And as expected, the three studies that compared a group with DS to a group with WS on figure copying tasks all reported that the WS group performed more poorly (Klein & Mervis, 1999; Vicari et al., 2004; Wang et al., 1995). Aside from the comparison to participants with WS, the figure copying results are mixed.
