J Intellect Dev Disabil
March 2022
Department of Educational Psychology, Université de Lorraine (2LPN: Laboratoire Lorrain de Psychologie and Neurosciences de la dynamique des comportements - EA 7489).
Background: The increased life expectancy of people with Down syndrome puts pressure on parents, who are usually the main caregivers but who find caring more difficult as they get older. The quality of the support provided by brothers and sisters depends on the intra-family relationships they build when growing up.
Methods: 121 adult siblings of people with Down syndrome completed a questionnaire on their perceptions of their childhood relationships.

March 2022
Laboratoire de Psychologie, University of Bordeaux, Bordeaux, France.
Background: The present study investigated decision-making in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) using the Soochow Gambling Task (SGT). The objective was to assess whether adults with PWS have impaired hot executive functions and whether the deficit is specific to PWS or linked to intellectual disabilities.
Method: The SGT performance of 26 adults with PWS was compared to that of 26 healthy adults matched on chronological age, and to that of 26 adults with intellectual disabilities but without PWS, matched on intellectual quotient level and chronological age.

Universidad de los Andes, Chile, School of Psychology, and Millennium Institute for Caregiving Research (MICARE), Santiago, Chile.
Background: Given the importance of adaptive behaviour (AB) for the identification of intellectual disability and the design of intervention plans for people with Down syndrome (DS), this cross-sectional study explored AB in infants with DS, compared to infants with typical development (TD).
Unlabelled: we evaluated 60 infants (10-36 months) with ABAS-II (32 with DS, 28 with TD). Using the developmental trajectories method for data analysis, we compared AB between the two groups.
