Abstract
In this paper we review existing research on cerebral specialization in Down’s syndrome (DS) individuals, and we present a preliminary model. The model proposes that the cerebral organization of DS persons is such that there is a dissociation of brain areas responsible for speech perception and the production of complex movement including speech. Research is presented that confirms some initial predictions of the model.This publication has 24 references indexed in Scilit:
