9 experimental and 4 control Ss were tested to determine autistic influence on figure-ground perception. 6 of the 9 experimental Ss and 3 of 4 control Ss were able to learn the names of the training faces. "There was no significant difference between the total number of previously rewarded and . . . punished faces correctly identified in the ambiguous situations" for 6 experimental Ss. Other differences were conflictual. Ss' reports were analyzed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
