Are the responses generated during a psychophysical task independent of previously presented stimuli or do they depend on earlier stimulus presentations?

abstract：:When multiple objects rotate in depth, they are frequently perceived to rotate in the same direction even when perspective information signals counterrotation. Three experiments are reported on this tendency to recover the rotation directions of multiple objects in a nonindependent fashion (termed rotational linkage)....
