| JAPAN | WRITING | WRITING DIFFICULTIES | VISUAL PERCEPTIONSummary: A 9 year old boy diagnosed as having Williams Syndrome was evaluated using psychological test batteries in order to clarify his ability in language and visual cognition. The subject had difficulty in writting some of the Japanese semantic characters (called Kanji) which he could otherwise read and understand. Although he could write the small components of which the Kanji characters were composed, he could not locate these correctly. This phenomenon is considered to be very similar to the difficulty in copying a figure observed clinically. [AJ].
