Evidence from clinical case studies and neuropsychological research supports the model that Capgras delusion arises from a disconnection between intact visual recognition and affective autonomic responses to familiar individuals.

The analysis

The claim specifies that Capgras delusion is caused by a disconnection between visual recognition and emotional arousal. Papers [2], [7], and [8] specifically discuss and provide evidence for this exact model, attributing the delusion to a disruption in pathways or processes linking face perception to affective/limbic evaluation. No papers refute this model; therefore, the verdict is SUPPORTED.
