The importance of relative motion information when modelling a novel motor skill was examined. Participants were assigned to one of four groups. Groups 1 and 2 viewed demonstrations of a skilled cricket bowler presented in either 'video' or 'point light' format.

- - The study investigates the visual cognition profile in children with Williams syndrome (WS), focusing on four hypotheses related to sensory processing, cortical stream deficits, frontal function, and right hemisphere function in comparison to the left side.
- - Tests conducted target the debate around the dorsal (motion) and ventral (form) visual processing, revealing a subgroup of WS kids who struggle with motion tasks, suggesting a lingering immaturity in visuospatial processing.
- - Performance comparisons indicate that some WS children show high thresholds in both form and motion tasks, pointing to a broader global processing deficit, while frontal functioning was assessed using various tasks requiring inhibition of familiar responses.
