Effect of Attention on the Initiation of Binocular Rivalry.

abstract：:In four studies children were asked to read aloud a passage of randomly ordered common words with and without a coloured sheet of plastic (overlay) placed upon the page. The children's rate of reading increased with the overlay, for some children more than for others. The children were also asked to undertake a test o...

Does the flash-lag effect occur if the retinal image of the moving object is rendered stationary by smooth pursuit of the movin...
