Résumé

Une grande variété de paradigmes a montré que les individus autistes présentent des performances supérieures dans les tâches visuelles. Ici, l'impact des contraintes de la tâche sur le traitement hiérarchique visuel dans l'autisme a été étudié. En employant des procédures à choix libre et à choix forcé, le traitement global et local de chiffres hiérarchiques de type Navon a été examiné chez 15 personnes autistes (13 hommes, 2 femmes) et dans un groupe de comparaison. Dans la condition de choix libre, les personnes autistes choisissaient au hasard les cibles globales et locales, bien qu'elles répondissent plus rapidement aux cibles locales qu'aux cibles globales, indépendamment de l'angle visuel et de la durée de présentation. En revanche, le groupe de comparaison présentait un avantage global dans le temps de dénomination, qui n'était évident que pour des présentations plus courtes, ainsi que des effets de l'angle visuel. Dans la condition de choix forcé, les personnes autistes présentaient une interférence du local vers le global plus importante que l'interférence du global vers le local, tandis que le groupe de comparaison présentait un avantage global et une interférence bidirectionnelle. Globalement, les participants autistes présentaient une interférence atypique du local vers le global et un avantage local dans les conditions incongruentes (où les cibles globales et locales diffèrent), tant pour le temps de dénomination que pour l'exactitude. L'insensibilité relative du biais local aux contraintes de la tâche chez les personnes autistes, comparativement aux participants non autistes, indique que le biais local, avec l'interférence du local vers le global, est une caractéristique clé et distinctive de la cognition visuelle autiste et un candidat solide pour l'« endophénotype » de l'autisme.

A wide variety of paradigms have shown that autistic individuals present with superior performance on visual tasks. Here, the impact of task constraints on visual hierarchical processing in autism was investigated. By employing free- and forced-choice procedures, global and local processing of Navon-type hierarchical numerals was examined in 15 autistic persons (13 males, 2 females) and a comparison group. In the free-choice condition, autistics chose global and local targets randomly, though they were faster responding to local than to global targets, regardless of visual angle and exposure duration. In contrast, the comparison group exhibited a global advantage in naming time, which was evident only for shorter exposures, as well as effects of visual angle. In the forced-choice condition, autistics presented with a more important local-to-global interference than global-to-local interference, whereas the comparison group exhibited global advantage and bidirectional interference. Overall, the autistic participants presented with atypical local-to-global interference and local advantage in incongruent conditions (where global and local targets differ), in naming time as well as accuracy. The relative insensitivity of local bias to task constraints in autistics, in comparison to nonautistic participants, indicates that local bias, with local-to-global interference, is a key and characteristic feature of autistic visual cognition and a strong candidate for the "endophenotype" of autism.
