Crespi and Badcock (2008) proposed that autism and psychosis represent two extremes on a cognitive spectrum with normality at its center. Their specific claim that autistic and positive schizophrenia traits contrastingly affect preference for local versus global processing was investigated by examining Embedded Figures Test performance in two groups of students separated on autistic-like traits but matched on positive schizotypy traits, and two groups separated on positive schizotypy traits but matched on autistic-like traits (n = 20 per group). Consistent with their theory, higher levels of autistic-like traits were associated with faster identification of hidden figures, whereas higher levels of positive schizotypy traits were associated with slower identification.
克雷斯皮和巴德科克(2008年)提出,自闭症和精神病代表了认知谱系上的两个极端,正常状态处于中间位置。他们具体声称,自闭症特质和阳性精神分裂症特质对局部与整体加工偏好的影响形成对比,这一观点通过对两组学生的嵌入式图形测试表现进行研究得以验证。一组学生根据类自闭症特质进行分组,但在阳性分裂型特质方面相匹配;另一组学生根据阳性分裂型特质进行分组,但在类自闭症特质方面相匹配(每组n = 20)。与他们的理论一致,较高水平的类自闭症特质与更快识别隐藏图形相关,而较高水平的阳性分裂型特质则与较慢识别相关。
