Visual Separability: A Study on Unschooled Adults

Abstract: Abstract. It has been suggested in previous studies that unschooled adults present serious difficulties at performing tasks which, like part verification, dimensional filtering, or orientation judgments, require them to pay attention to a specific aspect of the stimulus structure. In the present study we examined the performance of unschooled adults by using a task which does not explicitly require the subjects to attend selectively to a specific component of the stimuli. Separability either of parts or of dim… Show more

“…There is no evidence that illiterates’ low level visual processing is impaired (cf. Kolinsky et al, 1994). Though formal schooling appears to have little impact on low level visual processing it seems to exert some influences on performance in tasks which are thought to tap higher level visual cognition.…”

“…To date there is no evidence that literacy affects low level visual processing (Kolinsky, Morais, & Verhaeghe, 1994;Le Carret et al, 2003)-unlike some forms of dyslexia, which have been linked to visual impairments (Stein & Walsh, 1997). Illiterates perform well in picture naming tasks, as long as the pictures consist of full colour photographs and not of more schematic black and white drawings Reis, Faisca, Ingvar, & Petersson, 2006).…”

“…The first part of this claim is clearly unmotivated. Examining low-level feature extraction in an indirect way (i.e., through the occurrence of illusory conjunctions), we observed a clear developmental effect (Kolinsky, 1989), but no difference at all between illiterate and literate adults (Kolinsky, Morais, and Verhaeghe, 1994).…”
