Abstract
The aftereffect of wearing 20-diopter vertically displacing prisms with bases oriented in opposite directions on the two eyes was measured in each eye. Five groups of 20 Ss differed in the density of a neutral filter worn over one eye. With no filter, the base-down prism dominated the directional judgments of both eyes, although there was a difference between the eyes consistent in direction with their differential treatment. The characteristics of the function relating aftereffect measures to filter density were found to depend upon the base orientation of the prism associated with the filter.
