Rapid, apparent, to-and-fro (right-left) rotation of the Necker cube sharply reduced reversals in depth for 10 undergraduates. This finding was considered consistent with the satiation theory of Necker cube reversals.
Rapid, successive presentations of an eccentric circle pattern and its mirror-image elicited apparent depth and, as has been previously demonstrated for the Benussi effect, there was an increase in apparent depth with an increase in circle eccentricity. Taken together, these data were interpreted as contravening Wallach, Adams, and Weisz's account of the Benussi effect as an instance of the kinetic depth effect.
Since apparent brightness increases as an intermittent luminous source decreases from flicker fusion to approximately 10 cps, the phenomenal blackness induced by an intermittent annulus should also increase as a result of brightness contrast. However, data from 5 observers showed the phenomenal blackness occurring with a 10-cps inducer was greater than that expected on the basis of brightness contrast.
