- Abstract
- This study observes global and local processing in 3½ year old children to understand developmental trajectories at this age, and explores correlations of global and local processing to ASD risk. Participants were selected at 12 months old based on their successful completion of the FYI (First Year Inventory), a parent questionnaire that assesses early risk for ASD. Twenty-nine typically-developing 3½ year olds performed a forced choice Navon shape task, in which they were presented with shapes that contained both local and global levels, and then two shapes at either the local or global level. They were instructed to choose which one they saw first. Higher global scores were slightly correlated to higher risk scores from the FYI. These results are discussed in the context of global and local processing in ASD groups and typically-developing groups.
