Abstract

Neuropsychological and psychophysical studies report controversial results regarding local-global visual processing and motion perception in autism. Here, we investigate contour integration and motion perception in an accurately diagnosed sample of autistic children, using low-level psychophysical tasks. We measured detection thresholds for a closed chain of Gabor patches, for different values of inter-element distance and we measured coherency thresholds of optic flow motion stimuli. Both experiments show comparable performances between autistics and normal subjects, demonstrating no evidence of early perceptual integration deficits. Some improvement in performance with age is detected in both groups.

  • There is no evidence for a performance deficit in contour integration tasks amongst ASD populations.

    “Thus there is no evidence for a performance deficit in contour integration tasks amongst ASD populations.”

  • Del Viva et al. (2006) found no overall difference in coherence thresholds between their ASD group and either CA- or VMA-matched control populations.

    “They found no overall difference in coherence thresholds between their ASD group and either of the control populations.”

    From Vision in autism spectrum disorders (2009) · cites this paper as Del Viva et al. (2006)

  • Del Viva et al. (2006) found no differences between ASD and control groups in responses to optic flow stimuli.

    “Furthermore, Del Viva et al. (2006), who also measured responses to optic flow stimuli in the study discussed in detail above, found no differences between ASD and control groups.”

    From Vision in autism spectrum disorders (2009) · cites this paper as Del Viva et al. (2006)

  • Del Viva et al. (2006) report their motion coherence data as sensitivities; converting to coherence thresholds, they are considerably lower than those in other studies for both ASD and control populations.

    “Del Viva et al. (2006) report their motion coherence data as sensitivities.Converting to coherence thresholds (see Table 1) they are considerably lower than those in other studies (for both ASD and control populations).”

    From Vision in autism spectrum disorders (2009) · cites this paper as Del Viva et al. (2006)

  • Del Viva et al.'s (2006) method was more robust than Pellicano et al.'s (2005).

    “Del Viva et al.'s (2006) method was therefore the more robust of the two.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
