Abstract
The strength of McCollough effects (MEs) may be reduced by having subjects view achromatic gratings either before or after ME induction. Both types of interference effects were investigated in a series of experiments designed to describe and compare their properties. Among the results were the following major findings: (1) Recovery of ME strength following postinduction interference manifests itself as a convergence of the interference decay curve and a control curve; it occurs within 30–60 min, and may or may not involve an increase in ME strength in the interference curve. (2) Preinduction interference does not occur if more than a few minutes separate the achromatic and chromatic inspections; interference effects that occur when the interinspection interval is zero are evident throughout the decay of the subsequent ME. These results are discussed in terms of several explanations of interference effects.
