Forced-choice form recognition during binocular rivalry

Abstract

Forced-choice form recognition thresholds were obtained for both eyes concurrently under rivalry suppression and nonsuppression and for a nonrivalry control condition. Suppression produced a significant decrement in recognition; nonsuppression and nonrivalry did not differ significantly. These data support the hypotheses that suppression represents an inhibitory state and that nonsuppression represents a state of normal visual sensitivity. © 1966, Psychonomic Press.
