Abstract: | An effort was made to produce negative organizational aftereffects in response to a perceptually ambiguous stimulus that can be seen as a cube in either of two orientations. 6 subjects were adapted to alternative disambiguated versions of the ambiguous cube, shown either in green or magenta light. When tested with the ambiguous figure shown in either green or magenta light, 5 subjects showed negative aftereffects while one subject showed a positive aftereffect. The aftereffects showed an average change in preferred organization of 25%. The results are interpreted in terms of both cognitive and hard-wired processes. |
