Observed distribution parameters and predicted perceptual behaviour of atypical groups. Observed distribution parameters (a, b), and predicted perceptual behaviour in volatile environments (c, d) for atypical groups, compared to neurotypical trajectories. Observers with borderline personality disorder (BPD, all female) are compared to neurotypical females of different ages. Observers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD, all male) are compared to neurotypical males of different ages. (a, b) Ellipsoids represent mean SEM values for BPD (purple) and for ASD (in orange). (c, d) Coloured volumes represent confidence intervals (standard deviation) for BPD (purple) and for ASD (in orange). The dominance period statistics and perceptual predictions of both groups fall outside the typical developmental and maturational trajectory.
