Abstract(s)
Understanding and imitating other people’s actions is crucial for social cognition. These skills appear to be supported by the human mirror neuron system. There is contradictory evidence regarding social skills in people with Down Syndrome (DS) and in consequence, regarding the integrity of the mirror neuron system. Although having good social and imitation skills, there is evidence for impairments in interpreting social situations and recognizing emotions. To determine whether there are impairments in the mirroring activity of adults with DS when compared to individuals without DS, by calculating the variation of the suppression of the EEG mu activity.
