“…All of these studies were cross-sectional. Studies are ordered by the approximate mean chronological age (CA) of the sample, which ranged from 5.13 years for Papaeliou et al (2012) and 6.13 years for Fidler et al (2000) to 18.16 years for Porter et al (2009) and 28.23 years for Fu (2012; Fu et al, 2015). Note that although the last three studies in the table included adults in their samples, the oldest age for which the CBCL is normed is 18 years.…”

“…No significant correlations with parental ratings were found, although Klein-Tasman et al did report a significant negative correlation with teachers’ ratings on the Thought Problems scale. In the only study that considered the relation between CBCL T-scores and adaptive behavior standard scores (Fu, 2012), no significant correlations were reported.…”

“…The 11 published studies of the CBCL include six based on United States (US) samples (Dilts, Morris, & Leonard, 1990; Fidler, Hodapp, & Dykens, 2000; Fu, 2012 – also reported in Fu, Lincoln, Bellugi, & Searcy, 2015; Greer, Brown, Pai, Choudry, & Klein, 1997; Klein-Tasman, Lira, Li-Barber, Gallo, & Brei, 2015; Pagon, Bennett, LaVeck, Stewart, & Johnson, 1987), and one study each from Australia (Porter, Dodd, & Cairns, 2009); Brazil (Teixeira, Monteiro, Velloso, Kim, & Carreiro, 2010), Germany (Sarimski, 1997), Greece (Papaeliou et al, 2012), and Spain (Pérez-García, Granero, Gallastegui, Pérez-Jurado, & Brun-Gasca, 2011). Most of these studies used the CBCL 4–18 (Achenbach, 1991), which included eight empirically-derived problem (“syndrome”) scales based on factor analysis of parental responses to individual items.…”

To identify similarities and differences in the behavioral profile of children with Williams syndrome from Spain and the United States, we asked parents of 6 – 14-year-olds from Spain (n=53) and the United States (n=145) to complete the Child Behavior Checklist 6–18. The distribution of raw scores was significantly higher for the Spanish sample than the American sample for half of both the empirically-based and DSM-oriented scales. In contrast, analyses based on country-specific T-scores indicated that the distribution for the Spanish sample was significantly higher than for the American sample only on the Social Problems scale. No gender differences were found. Genetic and cultural influences on children’s behavior and cultural influences on parental ratings of behavior are discussed.

“…However, several studies show that WS performances correspond to MA (Georgopoulos et al ; Pezzini et al ) but seem not to exceed the scores shown by the 5‐year‐old typically developing (TD) children (Bellugi et al ; Dykens et al ; Pagon et al ). The WS performances on the VMI are also reported to be significantly lower than those of their peers with Down syndrome (Wang et al ) or an intellectual deficiency of a non‐specific origin (Fu et al ). However, authors observed that the majority of participants with WS correctly copy simple geometric shapes (e.g.…”

Background Williams syndrome (WS) is characterised by severe deficits in visual–spatial abilities in contrast to relatively well‐developed language abilities. There is very limited knowledge about visual–motor integration (VMI) in people with WS. Method Twenty‐six participants with WS aged 6 to 41 years were assessed with all three tests of the Beery‐VMI test, namely the VMI test, the visual perception test (VP) and the motor coordination test (MC). Their results were compared with those of 154 typically developing children (TD) aged 4 to 12. Results No influence of age on the three tested abilities was found amongst the participants with WS in comparison with the TD children. The participants with WS scored similarly to the 5‐year‐old TD children in all three tasks; their scores on the VMI correlated with the results on the VP and MC tests, which were similar to those of the TD children. Finally, the scores on the non‐verbal intelligence test (Raven Coloured Progressive Matrices) were highly predictive of the scores in the VMI and VP tests and partially explain the variance in the MC scores. Conclusions The present study is the first to use all three tasks of the Beery‐VMI test. For the TD children, the performances on the three subtests did not show the same developmental trajectory. In contrast, the participants with WS did not show the same developmental trajectory. The participants with WS exhibited poor performances on all tasks with scores comparable with the 5‐year‐old TD children. As high correlations between these abilities were observed, improving VP and MC could help the development of VMI, which in turn could improve visual–spatial abilities in individuals with WS.
