Visual Processing in Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Evidence from Embedded Figures and Configural Superiority Tests

Abstract: The embedded figures test has often been used to reveal weak central coherence in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Here, we administered a more standardized automated version of the embedded figures test in combination with the configural superiority task, to investigate the effect of contextual modulation on local feature detection in 23 adolescents with ASD and 26 matched typically developing controls. On both tasks both groups performed largely similarly in terms of accuracy and reaction tim… Show more

“…Both tasks measure the effect of context clues on target detection and differences in performance might be considered evidence for local or global biases in visual discrimination. As Dillen et al (2015) found no differences between groups, the authors suggest there is no local bias in ASD adolescents.…”

“…According to Muth et al (2014), the only tasks where ASD participants were systematically different from controls were Figure Disembedding and Block Design, with a rather small effect size. In fact, Dillen et al (2015) proposes that there are no differences between ASD adolescents (average 16.7 years old) and controls in an embedded figures task and a configural superiority effect test. Both tasks measure the effect of context clues on target detection and differences in performance might be considered evidence for local or global biases in visual discrimination.…”

“…Οι Horlin et al (2014), οι οποίοι χρησιμοποίησαν ανιχνευτή βλέμματος κατά τη διάρκεια ενός EFT σε παιδιά με και χωρίς αυτισμό, αναφέρουν ότι τα παιδιά με αυτισμό παρουσίασαν λιγότερες και μικρότερης διάρκειας εστιάσεις στις εικόνες, αλλά η ακρίβεια των απαντήσεων ήταν παρόμοια και στις δύο ομάδες. Επίσης, οι Dillen et al (2015), που χρησιμοποίησαν μια αυτοματοποιημένη έκδοση του EFT σε ένα παρόμοιο πείραμα, αναφέρουν ότι η κλινική ομάδα και η ομάδα ελέγχου είχαν παρόμοιες επιδόσεις, όσον αφορά στην ακρίβεια και τον χρόνο αντίδρασης, κι ότι δεν προκύπτουν στοιχεία υπέρ της προδιάθεσης των ατόμων με αυτισμό στην τοπική επεξεργασία.…”
