Retinal rivalry and Troxler’s effect: A correlation

Slow binocular rivalry in bipolar disorder

“…Longer total observation periods diminish the effects of erroneous perceptual reports and allow rivalry rates to stabilize. Rate increases within individuals have been shown to occur in the first few minutes of viewing both ambiguous figures (Brown, 1955 ;Price, 1969 a, b ;Toppino & Long, 1987 ;Li et al 2000 ; see also Vickers, 1972) and binocular rivalry (Hodges & Fox, 1965;Aafjes, 1966 ;Goldstein, 1968 ;Hollins, 1980). The reliability of longer observation periods (with interspersed rest intervals however, see Bruner et al 1950 ;Torii, 1960;Vickers, 1972), as used in the present study, is supported by the high correlation between block 2 and block 3 rivalry rates demonstrated for all groups (Table 1).…”

The effect of stimulus strength on binocular rivalry rate in healthy individuals: Implications for genetic, clinical and individual differences studies

“…The blocks were separated by 110-s rest breaks and the trials 30-s rest breaks. The first few minutes of BR viewing have been characterized by increases in BR rate within individuals [1,16,29,34,35,80]. However, BR rates stabilize with longer BR viewing periods [53,54], yielding a more accurate measure of an individual's BR rate.…”

The effect of contrast on the completeness of binocular rivalry suppression

“…There is thus no contradiction between the present finding that exclusive visibility rises as a viewing period progresses and the report by Fox and Herrmann (1967) that the phases of rivalry (using the two-response method in a situation from which the mixed state was essentially absent) do not change systematically in duration over the course of a trial. Goldstein (1968) studied the course of rivalry by asking subjects to indicate when each eye's target was, and was not, visible in its entirety. Two response keys were used.…”
