. Describe tasks that people with Williams syndrome do poorly and those that they do well.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Williams syndrome is a developmental condition that affects a wide range of body functions. Mild to severe intellectual handicap or learning difficulties, specific personality traits, distinctive facial features, and cardiovascular abnormalities are all symptoms of this illness.

Williams Syndrome is a congenital condition that affects a small percentage of the population. It's a non-heritable condition that results in distinct facial features and a variety of learning challenges.

Infants with delayed development are more likely to have physical and mental health problems later in life, such as anxiety and depression. 
Williams syndrome individuals tend to be chatty and unreasonably neighbourly towards grownups and adults.

Step 2

The deletion of genetic material from a specific area of chromosome 7 causes Williams syndrome. The deleted region contains 26 to 28 genes, and experts believe that the loss of several of these genes is likely to contribute to the disorder's symptoms.

Step 3

Individuals with Williams disorder ordinarily have trouble with visual-spatial assignments such as drawing and collecting puzzles.
