Typical perceptual organization in autism: Perceptual grouping and spatial distortion.

摘要: The extensive literature on global-local processing in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has recently shifted from arguing for a impairment among those ASD to positing an attenuated preference global processing. One suggestion is that the fast extraction of gist less efficient ASD, contrast superior attention-driven local elements. To examine this claim processing, present study tested how perceptual grouping affected organization visual scenes, specifically testing mandatory, more optional ASD. Participants judged distance between grouped and ungrouped elements displays which illusory distortions were inherent configurations exemplifying Gestalt principles organization. Results six experiments manipulating different cues showed consistent pattern, indicating individuals as typically developed (TD) individuals, processes are organizational nature, incorporating related while parsing these other unrelated This accompanied by spatial relationships perceived scene. participants exhibited overall larger tendency overestimate distances, but they also demonstrated typical robust mandatory and, neurotypicals, perception whole Autism Res 2019. © 2019 International Society Research, Wiley Periodicals, Inc. LAY SUMMARY: It known perceive world way than their peers. While TD exhibit strong bias toward structure enhanced We when levels not competing, demonstrate operates even directly instructed.
