Individuals with Williams syndrome have compromised ________ function.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Williams syndrome is characterized by a unique cognitive profile where individuals often exhibit hyper-social behaviors and have strong language skills but face challenges with spatial skills and tasks requiring motor coordination. The amygdala, a region of the brain involved in processing emotions, is known to function differently in individuals with Williams syndrome, affecting their social behavior and fear recognition. This makes the amygdala's compromised function a correct choice, as it is directly impacted in Williams syndrome. Choices related to social, dopamine, and olfactory functions are not directly associated with compromised amygdala function in the context of Williams syndrome.
