Patients making configural errors on the WAIS-R Block Design subtest struggle with global shape perception. This suggests Block Design errors reflect difficulties in processing global versus local visual features.

Area of Science:

  • Neuropsychology
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Visual Perception

Background:

  • Configural errors are common in the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) Block Design subtest.
  • These errors involve difficulties with hierarchical patterns composed of global and local shapes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the significance of configural errors in the WAIS-R Block Design subtest.
  • To determine if these errors correlate with difficulties in perceiving global versus local features.

Main Methods:

  • Two similarity judgment tasks were administered to assess global/local processing.
  • Participants judged which of two hierarchical figures best matched a standard figure.

Main Results:

  • Subjects with Block Design configural errors were less likely to identify the global-level match.
  • This finding held true for participants without known right-hemisphere lesions.

    • Conclusions:

    • WAIS-R Block Design errors may indicate impaired perceptual encoding of global features.
    • The results suggest a broad applicability of these findings across diverse populations.
