THE ROLE OF TEMPORAL ONSETS IN OBJECT SUBSTITUTION MASKING

More about the book

Exploring the concept of visual masking, this research investigates a unique form identified by Di Lollo et al. (2000), where a target stimulus is obscured by a surrounding dot pattern. The study examines how the timing of the dot pattern's appearance affects the strength of the masking effect. Through a series of experiments, findings reveal that the effectiveness of this masking is significantly influenced by whether the dot pattern appears synchronously with the target, highlighting the complexities of visual perception.
