Individual differences in figural aftereffect potency: Aftereffect trace vs immediate stimulus context as a determiner of perception

Abstract

When, given the same stimulus pattern, the direction of a perceptual response can be determined by either the strength of an aftereffect trace or by an immediately present stimulus context, field-independent Ss responded in accordance with the aftereffect trace, while field-dependent Ss’ perceptions were influenced by the immediately present stimulus context. The data at hand continue to demonstrate significant differences in aftereffect potency between field-independent and field-dependent Ss.
