A developmental study of auditory preferences in infants with Down’s syndrome and non-handicapped infants when hearing familiar and unfamiliar voices singing nursery rhymes The auditory preferences of 20 non-handicapped infants and 20 infants with Down’s syndrome will be studied at the ages of 6 months and 12 months. A digital apparatus allowing infants to choose whether to listen to one of two auditory stimuli will be used as a measurement of their preferences. Sounds used will include two familiar

DOWN SYNDROME Down Syndrome is a congenital disorder arising from a chromosome It comes from a defect involving chromosome 21. The condition leads to impairments in both cognitive ability and physical growth that range from mild to moderate developmental disabilities. Through a series of screenings and tests‚ Down syndrome can be detected before and after a baby is born. The only factor known to affect the probability of having a baby with Down syndrome is maternal age. Less than one in 1‚000

This condition disrupts normal development‚ potentially fatally‚ even before birth (Source 1). Major characteristics of the disorder include a delay in growth‚ a low birth weight‚ and other major medical complications (Source 1‚ Source 3). Professor of
