“…Inspired by Navon's work in 1977, the general view has persisted until the present that there exists a universal global bias (e.g., De Lillo, Spinozzi, Truppa, & Naylor, 2005;Lachmann, Schmitt, Braet, & van Leeuwen, 2014;Poirel, Mellet, Houdé, & Pineau, 2008), with an abundant number of studies reporting a global bias in normally developing Western and Asian participants (e.g., Caparos, Fortier-St-Pierre, Gosselin, Blanchette, & Brisson, 2015;Lachmann et al, 2014;Mahoney, Brunyé, Giles, Lieberman, & Taylor, 2011;McKone, Davies, Fernando, Aalders, Leung, Wickramariyaratne, & Platow, 2010;Poirel et al, 2008). Recent data have however shown that the Himba of Northern Namibia (Southern Africa), a normally developing non-western population living a traditional lifestyle in remote rural settlements, show a strong local perceptual bias (Bremner, Doherty, Caparos, De Fockert, Linnell, & Davidoff, 2016;Caparos, Ahmed, Bremner, De Fockert, Linnell, & Davidoff, 2012;Davidoff, Fonteneau, & Fagot, 2008;De Fockert, Davidoff, Fagot, Parron, & Goldstein, 2007).…”
