Any impairment in visual orienting may therefore constrain learning and development in domains such as language. However, although something is known about visual orienting in infants at risk of autism, very little is known about it in infants\/toddlers with other neurodevelopmental disorders. This is partly because previous studies focused on older children and rarely compared the children to\n                    <jats:italic>both<\/jats:italic>\n                    chronological\u00a0age (CA)\u2010 and mental age (MA)\u2010matched TD controls. Yet, if visual orienting is important for learning and development, then it is imperative to investigate it\n                    <jats:italic>early in development<\/jats:italic>\n                    and ascertain whether it relates to higher level cognitive functions such as language. We used eye\u2010tracking technology to directly compare visual orienting in infants\/toddlers with one of three neurodevelopmental disorders\u2014Down syndrome (DS), fragile X syndrome (FXS) and Williams syndrome (WS)\u2014matched on CA or MA to TD controls (~15\u00a0months). We also measured language ability using the Mullen Scales of Early Learning (MSEL). We found that the ability to\n                    <jats:italic>disengage<\/jats:italic>\n                    attention from a visual stimulus in order to shift it to another visual stimulus is related to language ability in infants\/toddlers irrespective of group affiliation. We also found that, contrary to the literature, infants and toddlers with DS (but not WS) are slow at disengaging attention. Our data suggest that orienting attention constrains language development and is impaired in DS.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/desc.12961","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,10]],"date-time":"2020-03-10T10:00:45Z","timestamp":1583834445000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Attentional abilities constrain language development: A cross\u2010syndrome infant\/toddler study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3053-2484","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dean","family":"D'Souza","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Science and Engineering Anglia Ruskin University Cambridge UK"},{"name":"Centre for Brain and Cognitive Development Birkbeck, University of London London UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hana","family":"D'Souza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Brain and Cognitive Development Birkbeck, University of London London UK"},{"name":"Department of Psychology &amp; Newnham College University of Cambridge Cambridge UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emily J.
