I imagine (as do these researchers, perhaps  ) that what makes it "WS" is the fact that humans who have been socialized (meaning, they are over a particular age and didn't grow up in a cage where they were kept from humans and left to their primal devices) still hold these traits. |
True, but I know the article also mentions how they don't really know how much socialization impacts this study.
They state:

Less exposure to racial stereotypes could possibly explain the lack of racial bias in children with WS

Which I kind of think is a no-brainer. If someone isn't exposed to stereotypes, they are less likely to have them. Durrrrrr.
They also say that WS comes with mental retardation---which seems about right if what als is saying. I think the behavior has more to do with the severity of the retardation vs the actual Williams Syndrome.

Maybe that explains the string of bad relationships lately.
