Normal Controls

10 children with withdrawn personality disturbances showed significantly greater response variability on a stereoscopic size-discrimination task than did children with very aggressive conduct disturbances or normal controls. It is proposed that mechanisms associated with the reliable initiation and maintenance of cognition are more salient than those involving primary sensory/perceptual coding.

Depth Ordering

Although researchers have debated whether a core deficit of nonsymbolic representation of magnitude underlies developmental dyscalculia (DD), research has mostly focused on numerosity processing. We probed the possibility of a general magnitude deficit in individuals with DD and asked whether sensitivity to size varied in contexts of depth ordering and size constancy. We measured full psychometric functions in size-discrimination tasks in 12 participants with DD and 13 control participants. Results showed that although people with DD exhibited veridical perceived magnitude, their sensitivity to size was clearly impaired. In contrast, when objects were embedded in depth cues allowing size-constancy computations, participants with DD demonstrated typical sensitivity to size. These results demonstrate a deficit in the perceptual resolutions of magnitude in DD. At the same time, the finding of an intact size constancy suggests that when magnitude perception is facilitated by implicit mandatory computations of size constancy, this deficit is no longer evident.

Feature Information

Previous studies have established the existence of neurological impairments of object constancy: the ability to recognize that an object has the same structure across changes in its retinal projection. Five case studies of brain-damaged patients with deficits in achieving object constancy are reported. To test object constancy, patients discriminated two photographs of a target object, taken from different views, from a photograph of a visually similar distractor object. Four patients showed impaired matching only when the principal axis of the target object in one photograph was foreshortened. The fifth patient showed impaired matching only when the saliency of the target object's primary distinctive feature was reduced. This double dissociation suggests that normally there may be two independent means of achieving object constancy: one by processing an object's local distinctive features, the other by describing the object's structure relative to the frame of its principal axis. Neurological damage can selectively impair either process. Further, this impairment can be independent of deficits in processing visual form, since two patients with a selective deficit in the foreshortened matching task showed relatively normal form discrimination. The patient dependent on local distinctive feature information showed a deficit in size discrimination. It is suggested that this patient fails to utilize global properties of form. This failure may underlie both his impairment in achieving object constancy and in processing certain dimensions of form.

Effects of experience with the Susan B. Anthony dollar on size discrimination and attitudes toward the coin were investigated. Those who used the coin for 4 wk. were quite accurate in discriminating its size visually while those without experience confused the size of the dollar coin with the size of the quarter. On a coin-selection task experienced subjects were no more accurate than inexperienced subjects but differed in type of error, confusing the dollar coin with the half-dallar coin more frequently. In contrast, the errors of inexperienced subjects were unsystematic. No attitudinal changes resulting from experience with the coin were found.
