Kasari, Connie; And Others – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 1990
The study of 30 young children with Down syndrome found that, compared to controls, subjects looked more often to the face of the social partner but less often to nonfocal toys. The more positive affect displayed toward people and the shorter the average looks to the partner's face, the higher the subject's verbal language skills. (Author/JDD)
