Landau, Barbara, 1949-
Spatial representation from gene to mind / [electronic resource] : Barbara Landau, James E. Hoffman. - New York ; Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2012. - 1 online resource (xv, 375 p.)
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Despite our impression of a seamless spatial world, mature human spatial knowledge is composed of sub-systems, each specialized. This book uses the case of Williams syndrome to argue for specialization of function in both normal and unusual development. The evidence suggests a speculative hypothesis linking the genetic deficit to changes in the timing of emergence for different sub-systems.
