a. The study did not rule out the use of local cues to do the task
b. Some participants may have had problems in resolving the small dots
c. The duration of the stimulus presentations may have disadvantaged the control group
d. The global cues to symmetry were weak

a. The study did not rule out the use of local cues to do the task
