Response Inhibition Training for Children With Williams Syndrome
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Williams Syndrome
In brief
The investigators will conduct a pilot study investigating the effectiveness of a computerized response inhibition training program at reducing the response inhibition difficulties often seen in children with Williams syndrome ages 10-17. The investigators hypothesize that after completing the training program, children with Williams syndrome will show improvement on computerized measures of response inhibition and on parent measures of impulsivity.
