Visuo-spatial processing and dimensions of schizotypy: figure- ground segregation as a function of psychotic-like features

The aim of the reported study was to determine whether the ability to segregate a simple figure embedded in a complex visual ground, was associated with psychotic-like features in a sample of undergraduate students. The participants (N =100) were tested on the Hidden Figures Test, as well as the Raven’s Progressive Matrices, and completed a multi-dimensional schizotypy inventory (O–LIFE). The I...

VISUOSPATIAL CONTEXTUAL PROCESSING: ILLUSIONS, HIDDEN FIGURES AND AUTISTIC TRAITS by ELIZABETH

2 Soviet Industrial Production , 1928 to 1955 : Real Growth and Hidden Inflation

The mechanism of hidden inflation in Soviet industrial growth statistics between 1928 and 1950 is described. Hidden inflation arose when new products were substituted for old ones. Substitution biases in Soviet and Western growth estimates are compared; the extent of hidden inflation in the Soviet figures is estimated. The view that all Soviet growth series were exaggerated is qualified; the pr...

Activation in a Frontoparietal Cortical Network Underlies Individual Differences in the Performance of an Embedded Figures Task

The Embedded Figures Test (EFT) requires observers to search for a simple geometric shape hidden inside a more complex figure. Surprisingly, performance in the EFT is negatively correlated with susceptibility to illusions of spatial orientation, such as the Roelofs effect. Using fMRI, we previously demonstrated that regions in parietal cortex are involved in the contextual processing associated...
