Exploring face perception in disorders of development: evidence from Williams syndrome and autism
Get PDFIndividuals with Williams syndrome (WS) and autism are characterized by different social phenotypes but have been said to show similar atypicalities of face-processing style. Although the structural encoding of faces may be similarly atypical in these two developmental disorders, there are clear differences in overall face skills. The inclusion of both populations in the same study can address how the profile of face skills varies across disorders. The current paper explored the processing of identity, eye-gaze, lip-reading, and expressions of emotion using the same participants across face domains. The tasks had previously been used to make claims of a modular structure to face perception in typical development. Participants with WS (N=15) and autism (N=20) could be dissociated from each other, and from individuals with general developmental delay, in the domains of eye-gaze and expression processing. Individuals with WS were stronger at these skills than individuals with autism. Even if the structural encoding of faces appears similarly atypical in these groups, the overall profile of face skills, as well as the underlying architecture of face perception, varies greatly. The research provides insights into typical and atypical models of face perception in WS and autism
The development of metaphorical language comprehension in typical development and in Williams syndrome
Get PDFThe domain of figurative language comprehension was used to probe the developmental relation between language and cognition in typically developing individuals and individuals with Williams syndrome. Extending the work of Vosniadou and Ortony, the emergence of nonliteral similarity and category knowledge was investigated in 117 typically developing children between 4 and 12 years of age, 19 typically developing adults, 15 children with Williams syndrome between 5 and 12 years of age, and 8 adults with Williams syndrome. Participants were required to complete similarity and categorization statements by selecting one of two words (e.g., either “The sun is like ___” or “The sun is the same kind of thing as ___”) with word pairs formed from items that were literally, perceptually, or functionally similar to the target word or else anomalous (e.g., moon, orange, oven, or chair, respectively). Results indicated that individuals with Williams syndrome may access different, less abstract knowledge in figurative language comparisons despite the relatively strong verbal abilities found in this disorder

2.-Uma dramaturgia híbrida partir de peças não canônicas de Tennessee Williams
No full textRESUMO
A partir do alinhamento de forma e conteúdo das peças Why Do You Smoke So Much, Lily? e Something Unspoken de Tennessee Williams, foi elaborada uma dramaturgia híbrida para a construção de uma cena dirigida pelo autor na Faculdade Paulista de Artes, em São Paulo. Este trabalho analisa a dramaturgia desta cena de direção, ressaltando, a partir das peças originais, a figuração histórica e social da homossexualidade feminina no contexto heteronormativo e seus reflexos na contemporaneidade. Com isso, evidencia-se um autor que deve ser desenraizado dos princípios hegemônicos de realismo psicológico e biografismo para ser relido como uma exposição crítica da sociedade.
RESUMEN
A partir de la alineación de la forma y el contenido de las piezas ¿Why Do You Smoke So Much, Lily? y Something Unspoken de Tennessee Williams, fue desarrollado una dramaturgia híbrida para la construcción de una escena dirigida por el autor en la Faculdade Paulista de Artes, en São Paulo, Brasil. Este trabajo analiza la dramaturgia de esta escena de dirección, destacando, a partir de las obras originales, la construcción histórica y social de la homosexualidad femenina en el contexto heteronormativo y sus reflejos en los tiempos contemporáneos. Con esto, es evidente un autor que debe ser desarraigado de los principios hegemónicos del realismo psicológico y la biografía para ser releído como una exposición crítica de la sociedad.
ABSTRACT
From the form and content alignment of the plays Why Do You Smoke So Much, Lily? and Something Unspoken from Tennessee Williams, a hybrid play was constructed for a scene to be assembled and directed by the author in Faculdade Paulista de Artes in São Paulo.
This paper analyzes the dramaturgy of this scene, emphasizing, from de original plays, the historical and social construction of feminine homosexuality in the heteronormative context and its reflections in contemporaneity. With this, it is evident an author who must be uprooted from the hegemonic principles of psycological realism and biografism to be reread as a critical exposition of the society
