Reversal rate varied as a function of figure-off duration, holding figure-on duration constant at 300 msec. ( N = 13). There was a rise in reversal rate from 14.0 at 10 msec., then a sharp decline to 4.8 reversals at 800 msec. The rise in reversal rate with increase in figure-on duration from 3.0 at 400 to 18.9 at 4,500 msec., holding figure-off duration constant at 1,000 msec., seemed due primarily to within-exposure, not between-exposure, reversals ( N = 21).
The Necker cube was presented tachistoscopically and repetitively so that growth of satiation would be interrupted repeatedly and a critical level for reversals would not be reached. The preferred orientation under these circumstances was markedly altered when a non-reversing cube was interpolated for 4 sec. between successive presentations of the test Necker cube.
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.
