Reaction times were obtained for the onset and offset of luminous stimuli of 31,400 mL., 314 mL., 3.14 mL., and 1.98 mL., presented in the fovea and periphery. It was found that in the periphery offset RTs are longer than onset RTs. The opposite is true for the fovea. In both the fovea and periphery the differences between the onset and offset RTs decrease as the luminance increases.
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.
