Abstract
On two implicit learning tasks, adolescents with Down syndrome (DS) performed lower than their typical age-peers and similarly to their cognitive level typical peers, suggesting that implicit learning in DS is commensurate with cognitive level. Correlations suggest a subtle connection might exist between implicit learning and grammar skills in DS.
