10-element binary patterns of open and blackened circles were tachistoscopically exposed such that 0–10 of the elements appeared on the left of a fixation-cross. The specific orientation relative to fixation was unknown to O before exposure. O was required to reproduce the pattern of blackened circles on a blank template after each exposure. In each of three experiments a different arrangement of the template for recording responses was used. The usual tendency for greater accuracy for elements at the left was overcome when more than half of the elements had appeared to the left of the fixation-point. The form of response recording affected the results, which were accounted for in terms of visual sensitivity, implicit motor factors, and organizational factors in the memory system of O.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
