摘要: Abstract Visuospatial interpolation is the estimation of object position or contour shape computed from known “anchor” positions. We characterized developmental profile by measuring positional thresholds as a function inter-element separation without (Experiment 1) and with 2) context illusory contours in typically developing children, typical adults individuals Williams Syndrome (WS), genetic disorder that causes impaired global visuospatial abilities. found children WS had more difficulty integrating information across distant elements than adults. However, improved all participant groups similar way. Our results suggest individuals, grouping mechanisms enable long-range spatial integration are immature. hypothesize young can use stimulus-driven cues for bottom–up integration, but have immature top–down information.
