Profiles, correlates, and trajectories of intelligence in Prader-Willi syndrome.
Three aspects of intellectual functioning in persons with Prader-Willi syndrome were examined in two, related studies. In study 1, 21 subjects were evaluated with a psychometric instrument that assesses neuropsychological styles of cognitive processing, the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children. Prader-Willi subjects showed deficits in sequential processing, and strengths in academic achievement tasks such as reading and vocabulary. In contrast to previous reports on the syndrome, no relationship was found between weight and degree of intellectual impairment. Study 2 included a cross-sectional examination of the trajectory of IQ in 21 subjects aged 13 to 46 years, as well as a longitudinal analysis of 31 subjects aged 5 to 30 years who were tested twice with the same IQ test. No evidence of the previously described decline in IQ over time was noted in either the cross-sectional or longitudinal analyses. The implications of these findings for interventions are discussed.
