Which of the following show(s) dissociation between cognitive disorder and language abilities?
Show Hint
- Autism spectrum disorder
- Williams syndrome
- Dyslexia
- Specific Language Impairment (SLI)
The Correct Option is B, C, D
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Define dissociation.
Dissociation between cognition and language means that linguistic ability can be disproportionately strong or weak compared to general cognitive abilities.
Step 2: Evaluate each condition.
- Williams syndrome — cognitive impairment but relatively strong language and social abilities (dissociation present).
- Dyslexia — normal intelligence but specific impairment in reading/writing (dissociation present).
- Specific Language Impairment (SLI) — normal cognition but severe language deficit (dissociation present).
- Autism spectrum disorder — language and cognition are variably affected; not a straightforward dissociation (communication issues arise from broader cognitive/social deficits).
\[ \boxed{\text{Correct Answer: (B), (C), and (D)}} \]
