“…This is consistent with the findings of Fry and Bartley (1935) on the blocking of interaction between a test spot and an inducing border by another border in the field. A similar decrease in subjective background brightness when a second border was introduced was found by Payne and Anderson (1969a). This finding adds weight to the conclusion reached above as to the importance of a corner in producing changes in subjective background brightness.…”

When the visibility of a small test spot was measured by direct brightness matching at various locations along the white edge of a black and white border, it was found that the white background was perceived as becoming progessively brighter as the border was approached. The effect was greater when a corner was neared. Moreover, greater effects, i.e., larger differences between the edge effect and base level (no border) were found at distances farther removed from the fovea (0 deg 12 min to 3 deg 52 min).
