“…The most intense stimuli were jointly limited by maximum possible luminance available in our tachistoscope and the need to remain within the critical duration for temporal integration. Although we could have used a less intense set of tests and, thus, used both weaker and stronger masks, paralleling Hake et al (1967), this did not seem wise. This is because it is well known that the magnitude of nonmonotonicity of a masking function is directly related to test energy for the equal-energy case.…”

“…These effects were more pronounced when the masks were similar in energy range and level to the tests than when they were wider in energy range and weaker. In general, there was no evidence for the effects of trial-to-trial variation described by Hake, Faust, McIntyre, and Murray (1967).We have previously examined the role of judgmental factors in metacontrast …”

“…This was also the purpose of the Hake et al (1967) study, which led our research in its current direction. They had subjects judge the size of a test square which appeared within an irrelevant, outer square in various experimental conditions or by itself in a control condition.…”

“…This effect decreased as SOA increased still further, and, as one might expect, mask energy played essentially no role in judgments made at the longest SOA. The distribution of responses made to the various stimulus combinations were compared to the distributions predicted by two judgmental models presented in Hake et al (1967): the nondiscrimination observer model and the discriminating observer model. The former assumes thatthe LDF contains all the information needed to make decisions.…”

“…The linear discriminant function (LDF), whose role in the study of perception was described by Hake (Hake, Faust, McIntyre, & Murray, 1967;Hake, Rodwan, & Weintraub, 1966;Rodwan & Hake, 1964), was employed to serve these ends. Mathematically, the LDF is that linear combination of predictors (test energy and mask energy) which maximally discriminates group means (response categories) .…”

In an experiment similar to one by Bernstein, Fisicaro, and Fox (1976), subjects were asked to judge the brightness of test stimuli in a metacontrast display. The energies of the test and of the mask varied orthogonally. Various experimental conditions differed with respect to the range of mask energies. Individually, the mask energies were generally weaker than the test energies. The results replicated the main findings of Bernstein et al. (1976) in that judgments of the test were negatively correlated with mask energy at short stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) but positively correlated at long SOA. These effects were more pronounced when the masks were similar in energy range and level to the tests than when they were wider in energy range and weaker. In general, there was no evidence for the effects of trial-to-trial variation described by Hake, Faust, McIntyre, and Murray (1967).We have previously examined the role of judgmental factors in metacontrast

Four experiments were concerned with priming effects that occur when participants attempt to identify each letter in a briefly presented 4-Ietter display. At each position of the display, 1 alternative (the target) was more probable than 4 alternatives (nontargets). The basic finding, which held true over several manipulations of display characteristics, was that retroactive effects were generally much stronger than proactive effects. These strong retroactive effects contrast with prior findings that (a) proactive effects usually dominate and (b) repetition yields inhibition (repetition blindness). This asymmetry was also noted in an additional experiment in which participants responded to only 1 letter in the array.Responses associated with stimuli presented in succession can interact in two basic ways. The first stimulus in a pair can affect a succeeding stimulus, giving proactive or forward priming, or the succeeding stimulus can affect the preceding stimulus, giving retroactive or backward priming. Normally, proactive effects are much stronger than retroactive effects. Meyer and Schvaneveldt (1971) provide an often-cited instance of proactive priming. They presented two stimuli simultaneously, one above the other. The stimulus on the top was a word, and the stimulus on the bottom was either a related word, an unrelated word, or a nonword. The participant's task was to judge, as quickly as possible, whether the second stimulus was a word or nonword. The finding that reaction times were faster for related word pairs than for unrelated word pairs is commonly interpreted in terms of spreading activation (
