First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how hearing sensitivity (hyperacusis) might help language skills in children and adults with Williams syndrome. Researchers will use EEG and NIRS brain scans along with questionnaires to compare participants with Williams syndrome, Down syndrome, and typical development. The goal is to understand the role of phonological short-term memory in language, not to test any treatment.
