Abstract
Pairs of geometric forms of equal area were presented, one form after another, with interstimulus intervals t ranging from 0 to 250 ms. The subject's task in experiment 1 was to recognise both stimuli. Identification of the form presented first (backward masking) across all values of t was of a nonmonotonic nature, with greatest impairment at values of t from 30 to 60 ms. Identification of the second form presented (forward masking) increased monotonically with increasing t. Different forms were recognised with different effectiveness across all values of t where masking took place. The results are interpreted on the basis of a multiple-stage processing model which assumes interaction between stimuli at different levels at different values of t. In experiment 2 the subject's task was to detect the presence or absence of a predesignated form. This condition yielded monotonic functions for both backward and forward masking. An explanation in terms of attention-dependent masking is given.
