“…When presented with multi-element arrays (e.g., a large letter F comprised of smaller letter Es), several monkey species perceive the individual items (i.e., the local features) prior to and sometimes more accurately than the global configuration, including rhesus macaques (Hopkins & Washburn, 2002), baboons (Deruelle & Fagot, 1998;Fagot & Deruelle, 1997), capuchin monkeys (De Lillo, Spinozzi, Truppa, & Naylor, 2005;Spinozzi, De Lillo, & Salvi, 2006;Spinozzi, De Lillo, & Truppa, 2003;Spinozzi, De Lillo, Truppa, & Castorina, 2009), and cotton-top tamarins (Neiworth, Gleichman, Olinick, & Lamp, 2006). This local processing bias is contrasted with a hallmark global advantage in typically-developing humans who process visual stimuli at the global level first (e.g., Broadbent, 1977;Kimchi, 1992;Lamb & Robertson, 1988;Navon, 1977Navon, , 1981.…”
