Excerpt from The Effect of Illumination on Peripheral VisionThe outcome was negative. It seemed, however, that the most favorable conditions required had not been secured, and further tests were therefore necessary.The present study was undertaken largely for the purpose of furnishing such supplementary tests. It was thought, moreover, that further work might throw light on certain irregularities in F ernald's general results. We undertook, therefore, to repeat Fernald's experiments, with additional variations, under exactly duplicate conditions.After our experiments had been completed and put in what then seemed final form, a paper appeared3 in which Fernald's theses were attacked from a new direction. Rand and Ferree now declared that instead of selecting the most favorable conditions for her phenomena - colored after-images from colored stimuli sensed as colorless - Fernald had chosen the very worst. They were unable to confirm the results that she obtained in the Bryn Mawr and Chicago laboratories, i. E., they, failed (as a rule) to get the anomalous colored after images, when a white background was used. On the other hand, they were able, if they used a black background, pre fixation ground, and projection ground, to secure these anoma lous after-images practically in every trial.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
