Abstract
Three groups of high school students were tested on a task requiring “straight” or “crooked” judgments of rectilinear dot progressions generated by sequentially illuminated lights. Each group was tested under one of three conditions, which differed in the amount of eye movement occasioned by successive stimulus presentations. There were no significant, differences between the numbers of “straight” judgments for the three groups. In all groups the number of “straight” judgments increased with faster presentation rates.
