Studying weak central coherence at low levels: children with autism do not succumb to visual illusions. A research note
Article Abstract:
Weak central coherence at low levels helps children with autism in making accurate judgements of illusory figures and prevents them from succumbing to visual illusions. Autistic children fail to combine the induced lines and the inducing context involved in the task of illusory figure perception. They succumb more to three-dimensional disembedded illusions rather than to two-dimensional conditions.
