Experimental studies on figural after-effects in Japan.

"Many experimental studies on figural aftereffects in Japan were reviewed under several topics. Gibson's 'curved line'; Kohler and Wallach's 'size' effect; 'displacement' effect and 'field strength'; temporal factors; some other spatial factors; luminance; contrast, illuminance, and color; and some related experiments. Concerning some typical experimental situations, the effects of spatial and temporal variables were analyzed quantitatively, and some mathematical functions to relate these variables to the amount of after-effects were examined." Several additional factors and experiments are discussed. 64 references. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
